One of Tibet's highest and most respected lamas elucidates for us the
principles of Shambhala, or the path to happiness, set down by his father, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
Dear Reader,
We humans have come to a crossroads in our history: we can either destroy the world or create a good future. The Shambhala Principle
offers the principle of basic goodness as a way of addressing the
personal and social challenges that we face. Do we, as humans, have
confidence in the basic goodness of humanity, as well as of society
itself? As a Tibetan lama and spiritual leader, this strikes me as our
most compelling global issue.
The book revolves around a
dialogue with my father, the legendary Chögyam Trungpa. Whether his
responses were direct or mystical, he continuously returned to the
topics of basic goodness and enlightened society. Not only did he show
me how I could become confident in their existence through awareness and
meditation, he also taught me how basic goodness is a socially viable
standard that could stabilize and transform our world.
However,
this book is not a memoir, or even a message. It is an invitation to
readers to reflect on their own basic goodness and the basic goodness of
society, and then contemplate the question, Can we rouse our energy and
confidence to create a good world that is founded on this principle?
I encourage you to join me in this contemplation.
