Terrible news. Thanks to you, Carol, for all your hard work and dedication; it showed in the regularity of postings, the high quality of the articles and aesthetic touches you added to each posting. Would you mind sharing what the cost of operating the Shambhala Times is, on a monthly basis? With a target number, we who appreciate your work might be able to reach it, assuming such funds could be dedicated to that purpose.

I wish you well, Carol!

Carol,

Thank you for your service and dedication to the community as editor of the Shambhala Times. It is sad news that the publication cannot be supported at this time. As we go through this reassessment and restructuring, I hope we can find a way to bring back the Shambhala Times — and you as editor! All the best to you.

Thank you Carol for carrying on the essential community communication which Shambhala Online has provided. More than ever, our sangha needs the news of the organization, of each other, of our place in the world at large. I would happily add my 2 cent and more to the financial support needed to carry on. Waylon, count me in. I am certain there are many others who would do the same, given the focal conduit to take part.

I am also very sad to hear this news. The Shambhala Times is a very important element of our greater community. Thanks for holding this seat with such excellence, Carol.

Thank you, Carol, for your service & inspiration! Your efforts have been a helpful addition for so many of us. I hope that this is just a pause as things are sorted out.

Your dedication, that of your team and that of those who forged the way before you (yes, Sarah!), to the Shambhala world having a public voice- disseminating news, dharma, and personal insights to the world- has been a source of inspiration and joy to me over the many years. I still remember the hard copies!

Perhaps Waylon’s generous offer of support through Elephant can actualize? Fundraising? Charles and I would be glad to help. Many thanks, Carol. May the vision of the Great Eastern Sun be victorious.

I am deeply saddened to see this news. Thank you for carrying my torch forward, Carol. May The Shambhala Times be reborn again when it is able!! Ki Ki So So!!

Thank you Carol…the Shambhala Times is a great inspiration to me and something that I looked forward to reading regularly. I learned so much from it. I would be glad to contribute with a donation if a fundraising effort is put underway…as one pother person said, we need this to follow the Shambhala world. Now as much as ever before!

Thank you Carol for your exertion and creativity! So much appreciated! All best in the next endeavors!

I would think it would be easy to fundraise to keep this going–now more than ever we need uplifted communication.

Or, it’s been suggested by a fellow sangha-member that Elephant support this—I’d be happy to. We’re not rich but we are already set up as a huge site and would be happy to try to help.

Thanks for all your dedicated work, Carol. Sorry this situation has effected the funding for the Times.

Thank you for your service. I will miss having all of these wonderful news updates and stories. Every morning this has been a special part of my day to see the Shambhala Times and follow what is happening in our world. I hope we can find a way to continue support of the Shambhala Times again in the near future.

I’m very sorry to hear this. Thank you, Carol, for your work. Best wishes in all that awits you.

Thank you for attending to our culture with such humble dignity.
