The Shambhala tradition emphasizes confidence in the enlightened nature of all beings—windhorse—and teaches courageous rulership based on wisdom and compassion. It holds that these qualities are ultimately more stable than aggression and greed. It shows how to use worldly life as a means to ripen this spiritual potential. It practices turning the mind toward others as a discipline that creates lungta, windhorse, the ability to attain success that occurs from acting virtuously. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche leads a global community of over 150 meditation centers rooted in these principles. shambhala.org/
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche is unique in that he bridges two worlds. The eldest son of the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who was instrumental in bringing Buddhism to the West, he is the incarnation of Mipham the Great, who is revered in Tibet as an emanation of Manjushri, the buddha of wisdom. He descends from the Tibetan warrior-king Gesar of Ling. He also holds the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism.
He is the head of the Shambhala Buddhist lineage and is spiritual director of Shambhala, a borderless kingdom of meditation practitioners committed to realizing enlightenment and social harmony through daily life. He is the lineage holder of Naropa University, which is dedicated to advancing contemplative education.

"Shambhala is a mystical kingdom as well as the only pure land situated in this earth. Shaped like a giant lotus having eight petals, it is surrounded by rings of snowy mountain ranges and is shielded from the outside world by its natural geographical composition and by supernatural forces. Its inhabitants are born there because of pure karma and they live according to high moral precepts.
Being the inhabitants of the only pure land in this turbulent world, they lead a highly evolved spiritual life free from suffering and strife. They practise the highest tantric teachings of the Buddha such as the Kalachakra...." www.kalachakra.com/home/con...myth.html
"Magnum Opus - The Secret Doctrine” is the esoteric knowledge of Shambhala given to the Great White Brotherhood (Himalayan Brotherhood) and the Nine Secret Chiefs (The Navanathas / Lords of Wisdom). The “Esoteric Initiation of Shambhala” is required to become a Master (also known as Adepts, Initiates, Brothers, Mahatmas and Secret Chiefs.)
The Magnum Opus of Twilight Yoga is the Crepuscular Path between Orient and Occident The Azoth Concentrate of Reintegrated Numinous Solvents constituting the Esoteric Yoga of the Kingdom of Shambhala. This was the Fifth in number among the Nine Masters and the knowledge was known as the “Fifth Book.” Historically, the Nine Chiefs or Lords began in the very early days of civilization. They were reorganized during the reign of King Ashoka, the Great Hindu King (273 BC) and have continued ever since."
