Buddhist Path of Practice and Study
"The Buddhist tradition teaches the truth of impermanence, or the transitory nature of things. The past is gone and the future has not yet happened, so we work with what is here -- the present situation. This actually helps us not to categorize or theorize. A fresh, living situation is taking place all the time, on the spot. This noncategorical approach comes from being fully here, rather than trying to reconnect with past events. We don't have to look back to the past in order to see what people are made out of. Human beings speak for themselves, on the spot."
The Shambhala Buddhist path is based primarily on the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, but it also includes elements from the Zen and Theravadin traditions. The path Shambhala Buddhism presents is characterized by a strong emphasis on mindfulness-awareness practice and contemplation.
The Way of Shambhala is a complete introduction to the foundations of Shambhala Buddhism. This series of workshops and classes is an experiential overview of meditation practices, wisdom teachings, contemplative arts, and physical disciplines rooted in the ancient traditions of Shambhala and Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. This curriculum will be offered starting in September, 2009. For more information, please check out the complete curriculum description. Please check our Program Calendar for the dates and times of upcoming programs.
The Shambhala School of Buddhist Studies presents the three yana path of Tibetan Buddhism in a four-cycle program of practice and study. The program is both an in-depth study of the three turnings of the Wheel of Dharma and the basis for further study at Sutrayana Seminary. All courses are open to both beginners and mature practitioners. |
