  • Sense of Shambhala – Results of the Process Team Survey of the Shambhala Community Part 4: Listening to Our Voices Responses T
    1 Sense of Shambhala – Results of the Process Team Survey of the Shambhala Community Part 4: Listening to Our Voices Responses to the Open-Ended Questions Published November, 2020 2 Executive Summary Where are we as a Shambhala community? What are the views, concerns and experiences of the people with varying connections to Shambhala? The goal of the Sense of Shambhala Survey was to listen deeply to all segments of Shambhala, to map the ground and describe how experiences and issues in Shambhala are understood by the individuals who took the time and had the motivation to respond. The survey opened on January 13 and closed on February 13, 2020. Email invitations were sent to 11,666 individuals. A total of 3,541 respondents opened the survey, and 3,093 (27%) answered the initial question. The Sense of Shambhala Survey was extensive and included both closed ended (checkbox and multiple choice) and open-ended questions. The quantitative data from the closed ended questions has been previously reported (See Parts 1-3 at https://shambhala-process-team.org/sense-of-shambhala-survey- the-results-are-here/). This report presents an analysis of the qualitative data recorded in 87 open- ended questions included in the survey. A detailed description of the methodology for analyzing this qualitative data is included in this report as Appendix 1. In summary, a team of volunteer coders read all the responses for a subset of questions and constructed a coding heuristic that grouped the contents of responses into content codes. The team then applied this heuristic to the responses for 87 open-ended survey questions, producing content codes for a total of 17,236 quote segments.

  • Shambhala Guide Training Program November 2012 Recommendation Form
    Shambhala Guide Training Program November 2012 Recommendation Form Dear Meditation Instructor/Centre Leader/Senior Teacher: In order for your student's application for the training program(s) to be reviewed, please complete and return the following recommendation form to: [email protected] or Dorje Denma Ling: Programs 2280 Balmoral Road Tatamagouche NS, B0K 1V0 We must receive your letter by October 21, 2012 Should the student be accepted, they will receive a list of study materials to work with prior to the actual training. It is therefore very important to have all of the documentation in by the relevant date. In writing your recommendation please consider the student's connection to practice. You should have some sense that they are tamed, processed and softened, and that they practice regularly. The student should express a willingness and desire to work with others (with an attitude that other is more important) and have a commitment to Shambhala and the teachings of the Vidyadhara and the Sakyong. The student should have an understanding that this authorization is a journey and a commitment, not a credential. Many people recommend people who are not completely appropriate candidates, because they wish to be supportive. Whether or not being a Shambhala Guide will be helpful to the student’s personal path should be a secondary consideration in your recommendation. Please be straightforward in your description of the student’s readiness. It is very painful for people to go through the training and not be authorized. The person who completes this training, or the Shambhala Guide, is a resource, guide, friend, and host to newcomers to meditation.

  • The Sacred Path of the Warrior Chögyam Trungpa Dorje Pradul of Mukpo Synopsis by Mireia I
    July 2021 Page !1 of !21 ! Shambhala [TSPOTW] The Sacred Path of the Warrior Chögyam Trungpa Dorje Pradul of Mukpo Synopsis by Mireia I. Negre (Yogimani) July 2021 Page !2 of !21 ! Shambhala [TSPOTW] Book Overview: “In this practical guide to enlightened living, Chögyam Trungpa offers an inspiring vision for our time, based on the figure of the sacred warrior. In ancient times, the warrior learned to master the challenges of life, both on and off the battlefield. He acquired a sense of personal freedom and power--not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The Japanese samurai, the warrior-kings of Tibet, the knights of medieval Europe, and the warriors of the Native American tribes are a few examples of this universal tradition of wisdom. With this book the warrior's path is opened to contemporary men and women in search of self-mastery and greater fulfillment. Interpreting the warrior's journey in modern terms, Trungpa discusses such skills as synchronizing mind and body, overcoming habitual behaviors, relaxing within discipline, facing the world with openness and fearlessness, and finding the sacred dimension of everyday life. Above all, Trungpa shows that in discovering the basic goodness or human life, the warrior learns to radiate that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. The Shambhala teachings--named for a legendary Himalayan kingdom where prosperity and happiness reign--thus point to the potential for enlightened conduct that exists within every human being. "The basic wisdom of Shambhala," Trungpa writes, "is that in this world, as it is, we can find a good and meaningful human life that will also serve others.

  • Waking up Jan 26.Pages
    Waking Up: An Exploration of Filmmaking as Awareness Practice Robyn J. Traill Mount Saint Vincent University A thesis submitted to Mount Saint Vincent University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Research Master of Arts January 2018 © Robyn Traill 2018 WAKING UP Dedication To my first teachers: Pat and Ivan empowered me with their love for the world. VCTR, SMR, and KTGR taught me to see. !ii WAKING UP Abstract This research study describes my exploration of the art of film as an inner awareness practice from the view of the Buddhist yogic tradition. In the initial pre-production and production phases of this research, formless Mahamudra meditations were most important. A camera lens was employed as a cue or reminder to practice the lens of awareness while capturing moving images. In the post-production phase, the creative meditations within Buddhist yogas became a major reference point: visualization, ritual practice, narrative text, and embodied energy practices. This present thesis-text arose as reflections and observations within every stage of the process, inseparable from the meditation and art, and was then edited into its current form. The research study included a series of meditation retreats with a schedule of visualization practices, formless meditation, mahamudra meditation-in-action, illusory body practice, and dream yoga. In between retreats the practice of lens art and meditation continued as a walking- photography practice. The final stages of the research process centered around work in the post-production studio: editing film into timelines using improvisation and chance operation. Improvised music and sound design were then woven into the fabric of the video edit.

  • Contemplative Practices for People of Color
    Contemplative Practices For People Of Color Sabbe satta sukhi hontu! May all beings be happy! -Pali phrase American Buddhism is born both from the ancient and timeless teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who said: all deserve to be happy, to hear the dharma, and North America’s founding dream of freedom and equality. Yet, in spite of these intersecting histories, most sanghas in the United States are economically, socially, and culturally homogenous. Even though highly realized teachers from Asia come to the United States to teach the Dharma, those who teach alongside them or those who sit in the audience are rarely people of color. Some people of color attend once and never return because they don’t have a sense of community or connection in which to feel safe, valued, heard, seen, or welcomed. The adverse effect of this is the continued marginalization of certain members of society, members who have as much interest to practice meditation, alleviate their own suffering, and unite body and mind. The San Francisco Zen Center For the last 15 years the San Francisco Zen Center has been making a conscious effort to encourage people of color to visit their center and experience Buddhism. Using all three of their bay area centers and offering a series of one-day retreats, practice groups and visiting teachers, the membership of the Zen Center strives to become more diverse and understand the issues effecting people of color. The Diversity Committee The San Francisco Zen Center created an ad hoc Diversity Committee in 1993 to look at ways to diversify the center’s membership.

We have had the usual disagreements about whether it is appropriate to do the chants at public sittings. When the editor of our local newsletter requested me to write some dharma essays for the newsletter, it occurred to me that articles about the chants would be appropriate. They allude to a lot of dharmic ground, and there is a shortage of published explanation available in simple, everyday non-technical language.
