"I recognize that these past few months have been hard and dispiriting — that the fear, sorrow, uncertainty, and hardship of a pandemic have been compounded by tragic reminders that prejudice and inequality still shape so much of American life. But watching the heightened activism of young people in recent weeks, of every race and every station, makes me hopeful. If, going forward, we can channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action, then this moment can be a real turning point in our nation’s long journey to live up to our highest ideals.
Let’s get to work."

New To Shambhala?
Have you have heard the word “Shambhala” for the first time and want to know what it means? Are you looking for meditation instruction? Are you interested in Shambhala’s other mindfulness and contemplative arts programs? Are you seeking a community of like-minded people exploring the possibilities for creating enlightened society?

What is Shambhala?
Shambhala is a global community of people inspired by the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness.

Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism were largely unknown in the West prior to the beginning of the 20th century.[11] The name itself, however, was reported as early as the 17th century, by way of Estêvão Cacella, the Portuguese missionary who had heard about Shambhala (transcribed as Xembala), and thought it was another name for Cathay or China. Cacella in 1627 headed to Tashilhunpo, the seat of the Panchen Lama and, discovering his mistake, returned to India.[12]

The Hungarian scholar Sándor Kőrösi Csoma, writing in 1833, provided the first geographic account of "a fabulous country in the north...situated between 45' and 50' north latitude".[citation needed]

Theosophy Edit
During the late 19th century, Theosophical Society co-founder Helena Blavatsky alluded to the Shambhala myth. Blavatsky, who claimed to be in contact with a Great White Lodge of Himalayan Adepts, mentions Shambhala in several places, but without giving it especially great emphasis.

Later esoteric writers further emphasized and elaborated on the concept of a hidden land inhabited by a hidden mystic brotherhood whose members labor for the good of humanity. Alice A. Bailey claims Shamballa (her spelling) is an extra-dimensional or spiritual reality on the etheric plane, a spiritual centre where the governing deity of Earth, Sanat Kumara, dwells as the highest Avatar of the Planetary Logos of Earth, and is said to be an expression of the Will of God.[13]

Buddha taught a philosophy whose primary purpose was to deliver adherents from eternal suffering by attaining extinction; it had nothing to do with a personal God. Christ taught that He was God in human form, “the desire of the ages” who came in the fullness of time to set His people free. He is “the living Christ” because He is the resurrected Lord of life.

"How do we counteract discrimination, xenophobia, and intolerance towards others within society, and in times of crisis? Some of the obvious ways are enforcing laws which punish people who act in intolerant ways. Another way, are educational programmes that raise awareness about the mechanisms of intolerance, prejudice, and even unconscious bias. Third, perhaps greater activity by civil society to denounce discrimination and prejudice...

It’s not easily to be truly tolerant. That’s why sometimes we’re in for a surprise when we think we are. We don’t always work on tolerance enough to really call ourselves tolerant. It’s like Jaime Balme says: “you are not tolerant if you cannot tolerate intolerance.” So, do you tolerate intolerance?
