SAKYONG MIPHAM RINPOCHE is the leader of Shambhala, global community of meditation retreat centers. He's also an avid marathon runner and golfer, frequently retreats to study at a Tibetan monastery in India, and writes a regular column in the Shambhala Sun. The author of the bestselling titles Ruling Your World and Turning the Mind Into an Ally, Sakyong Mipham was named one of the thirty global visionaries of our time by Planet magazine. He spends his time teaching all over the world, using his unique blend of Eastern and Western perspectives to the benefit of his students in North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
In this rich and touching book, Sakyong Mipham recounts his
relationship with his father, Chogyam Trungpa, to illustrate his
personal journey of discovering the Shambhala principle of basic
goodness and enlightened society. His contemplation of humanity s
true nature invites us all to do the same: dig deep into our hearts
and bring forth the jewel that will illuminate our own inherent
worthiness and that of society as well as the worthiness of the
beautiful earth we inhabit. This is the love that connects us
all.
I hope everyone will join Sakyong Mipham in this global
conversation. This is a pivotal book for our time. Pema Chodron,
author of When Things Fall Apart
"At a time when we can either destroy the world or create a good
future, Sakyong Mipham proposes to use the power of goodness to
solve our problems. In this surprising and inspiring book the
author develops the view that humanity at the core is basically
complete, good, and worthy. If you feel sometimes overwhelmed by
the daily crimes and disasters, this is a healing book and a basis
for hope, one that shows how basic goodness can begin to affect our
homes, workplaces, hospitals, and schools, extending all the way to
our economic and political systems." -- Lothar Schafer, author of
Infinite Potential What Quantum Physics Reveals about How We Should
Live
In The Shambhala Principle, Sakyong Mipham offers an inspiring
vision of the fundamental wisdom, grace, and courage that resides
in the heart of every human being. Rich in insight and practical
detail, The Shambhala Principle is an indispensable guide to
personal and societal transformation. It is at once a moving and
deeply personal tribute to his father, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche,
and a transmission of timeless principles presented in a manner
uniquely suited to the challenges of the 21st century. Eric Swanson
co-author of The Joy of Living and Open Heart, Open Mind
