Welcome

The Shambhala Trust is an independent group of Shambhala community members who provide guidance and funding to projects across the mandala that support the creation of enlightened society.

The Trust supported our expansion, so that more young students can discover what their ancestors knew and also what the Vidyadhara knew about the power of the Maritime world.

Generosity is a willingness to give, to open without philosophical or pious or religious motives, just simply doing what is required at any moment in any situation, not being afraid to receive anything.

Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

We have to shift our attitude so that giving is a joy, something we want to do. When we find something we want to do, we always find ways of paying for it, we always find the money.

Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
