This is the slide show the Board developed for our August 2nd, 2011 community meeting about our expansion. The meeting also included practices, q&a and discussion.

1. Offering Shambhala to Greater Boston

4. First and foremost, Shambhala is based upon a societal vision. Even though it can be seen as a path by which an individual can travel into the great depths of enlightenment, this journey has a greater purpose than that. Shambhala vision is changing the whole social paradigm. For humanity not only to survive, but to flourish and prosper, the whole question and purpose of social existence needs to be addressed.
