Foundations of Shambhala: a gathering
by Amanda Hodson
Here at the Davis Shambhala Center we have a Monday night social and discussion group for shamatha students, new practitioners and people interested in learning about meditation. It’s called Foundations of Shambhala. The group provides a space for people to get to know our local Shambhala community and approach the teachings at their own pace, and is run primarily by a team of newer practitioners. Many Foundations attendees are now participating in Shambhala Training and the Way of Shambhala classes, as well as joining our sangha – Foundations brought 12 new members to our Center this past Shambhala Day.
