Introduction

Throughout history, human beings have aspired to create societies that express their inherent dignity and goodness. It is this vision that we refer to as Shambhala. The Houston Shambhala Meditation Center is a meditation group which offers meditation instruction, practice and study. We are affiliated with over 150 Shambhala Centers worldwide, organized under the auspices of Shambhala International..

Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who passed away in 1987, was a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master and author. He was one of the most prominent and influential Buddhist teachers of our time and a pioneer in bringing Buddhism to the West. His son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, now heads Shambhala International. The Sakyong, like his father, is a lineage holder of the Kagyü and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as of the Shambhala tradition.
