Please join us on Shambhala Day, Thursday 7 February

You are warmly invited to join in this year's Shambhala Day practices and festivities at the Shambhala Meditation Center of San Antonio. 



Shambhala Day is on Thursday 7 February this year. It promises to be a 
day of celebration and generosity with practitioners, friends and families. 

The Sakyong will be addressing the international mandala live from Halifax. 


The day will begin with the community practice of the "Elixir of Life" (often known as the "Birthday Sadhana").There will also be a showng of the latest Shambhala Day film. The half-hour Year in Review includes coverage of the fantastic work being done by the archives, the Royal Treasures of Shambhala, to preserve the Vidyadhara's teachings; reports from the Shambhala Congress in Cologne; the wedding festivities of the Sakyong and Khandro-la in India; the pilgrimage to Wu Tai Shan; The Kalapa Festival; and the award of the Congressional Gold Medal to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
