Shambhala and Society

From The Shambhala Times Community News Magazine: 

Today we publish a new report, Shambhala and Society based on discussions at 69 Shambhala Centers and Groups around the world. The report covers kindness and unkindness in Shambhala, as well as what people are doing to bring Shambhala vision into the world around them. No such report on this scale has ever been compiled before.

Each day from now until Shambhala Day, you can view direct quotes from this report as they will be posted on President Reoch’s blog: From Our President. This past weekend, President Reoch made a film about this report at the Imperial War Museum in London and the Dalai Lama’s Peace Garden; click here to view this video.

“People are really desperate for the kind of values that we emphasize and help people cultivate,” said one of the participants. “I think the world is ready for Shambhala leaders to come forward and be active in public discourse, provide public leadership and hope. It’s time to ‘come out of the closet’ about our values – because the time is right, and people of many backgrounds will be interested in what we have to offer.”
