Creating Enlightened Society: An Evening with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche at Grace Cathedral

Description

It is the Shambhala view that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness, warmth and intelligence. This nature can be cultivated through meditation, following ancient principles, and it can be further developed in daily life, so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society. Shambhala vision is rooted in the contemplative teachings of Buddhism, yet is a fresh expression of the spiritual journey for our time.
On this rare visit to the Bay Area, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche will present the vision of Shambhala. He will offer guided meditation on connecting with our fundamental dignity and using it as a force to shape the future of the world.
This talk will be held at the beautiful Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. It is open to people of any spiritual tradition and we warmly invite you to attend.
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche holds the royal lineage of the ancient kingdom of Shambhala, legendary for its wisdom and compassion. As the sovereign of Shambhala, he has inherited the Buddha’s teachings on enlightened society, which offer a radical antidote to greed and aggression and practices to help alleviate suffering in the world.

"The history and legend of Shambhala is based upon a great community that was able to reach a higher level of consciousness. This community could occur because its individual members participated fully in creating a culture of kindness, generosity, and courage."
– Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
