MIAMI SHAMBHALA BUDDHIST
MEDITATION GROUP
The Miami Shambala Buddhist Meditation Group is a part of Shambhala International, a worldwide community of over one hundred urban and rural meditation practice and retreat centers founded by the Tibetan buddhist meditation master, chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. The leader and principal teacher of Shambhala International is Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's son and spiritual heir.
The mission of the Miami Shambhala Buddhist Meditation Group is to offer meditation programs as a path to discovering the gentleness, fearlessness, intelligence, wakefulness and humor inherent in every human being, and to build a community based on human goodness and dignity.We welcome anyone who would like to learn meditation practice and who aspires to expand the experience of gentleness into all areas of life.
"The Shambhala teachings are founded on the premise that there is basic human wisdom that can help to solve the world's problems. This wisdom does not belong to any one culture or religion, nor does it come from the West or the East. Rather, it is a tradition of human warriorship that has existed in many cultures at many times throughout history."
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, founder of Shambhala International

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
TAKE YOUR SEAT
The practice of meditation is taking your seat in the warrior's world. Then, throughout your life, meditative awareness shows you how to regain your balance when you lose it, and how to use the messages from the phenomenal world to further your discipline. The practice of meditation also allows you to be completely grounded in reality. Then, if someone asks, "How do I know that you are not overreacting to situations?" you simply reply, "My posture in the saddle, my seat on the earth, speaks for itself."
from Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (Shambhala Publications)
