Shambhala Training Level One:
The Art of Being Human
As human beings, we long for sanity, compassion and inspiration in our lives. According to the Shambhala teachings as presented by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, this longing is a manifestation of basic goodness - the dignity and wakefulness that we all possess.
The Art of Being Human introduces the practice of meditation as a way to uncover and contact this innate dignity and wakefulness. Through the practice of mindfulness-awareness meditation, we begin to look precisely at our state of mind without trying to change it. This practice cultivates openness and gentleness toward ourselves and our environment, moment by moment.
This program includes meditation instruction, sitting and walking meditation, group discussions, private interviews, talks on meditation and the Shambhala teachings, meals together, tea, and more sitting and walking meditation.
