Mandala ProjectsKey Developments in Our Mandala
The Kalapa Council has offered an overview of what’s been happening across our mandala since their update last June. This far-ranging report highlights the Shambhala Lineage, Mukpo Family, Practice and Education, Governance, the Dorje Kasung, Shambhala Europe, Shambhala Media, Shambhala Online and our networked community, Major Practice Centres, Gampo Abbey, and other retreat centres, Community Development, the Our Future campaign, and offers a forum for comments and feedback.
We are delighted to be able to send you this fresh update on key developments in our mandala. Many people said how much they appreciated our very long global update in June. We are trying an experiment with this latest one. We have posted it online.
You can read it online, view the photos, and follow the many links to other websites and films — or download it from the web. To view or download this update, please click here.

Dear President Reoch,
The update was Kalapalicious!
Living in Big Sky country, with no frequent real-time connection
to the sangha (the closest I come is skyping with my overwhelmingly generous MI twice a month), it nourished me to the core.
I now have a wider and deeper understanding of the importance of the Kalapa
Capital Centre, and am thrilled it WILL be a reality.
Thank you for all you do for us. May the blessings of the lineage protect
your health and well-being so you can continue to serve Rinpoche and us as
brilliantly as you are doing so NOW….
KK KI SO SO
