Family is Sacred
Resolution from the Northern California Shambhala Board of Directors and leadership regarding the separation of children from their parents at the United States border.
Family is sacred to Shambhala Buddhism. Family holds the wisdom of our ancestors, a wisdom that enriches us and that can be handed down to future generations. Family is kin, the root of the word “kindness.”Shambhala Buddhism takes as its path the creation of an enlightened society, the most intimate form of which is the family. The apical ancestral figure of the Shambhala lineage is known as Rigden, which translates as “possessor of family awareness.” Indeed, the Shambhala teachings are handed down in a family lineage of Sakyongs, passed from parent to child.
