This Sunday, the first internet hookup for Shambhala Day took place via Shambhala Online. Community members cheered, shouted “ki ki so so,” and waved to each other across continents. President Reoch addressed the global mandala from Halifax, and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche shared exciting news from retreat in a recorded message that left everyone cheering.
The theme for this Shambhala Day was love — being Valentine’s Day after all.
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche has been emphasizing love and kindness throughout the year as a means to strengthen our community and extend Shambhala vision outward. On Shambhala Day, he reiterated that message in poignant terms.
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche stated:
“At this particular time, it is love that is the message. We don’t need to give into hate, but rather we should have the power and maturity to express our love. I believe that this maturity to express love and kindness is what will save our mind and will save our planet. Love is believing in our basic goodness.”
