Shambhala Boston is part of a global community which aspires to awaken kindness, goodness and wisdom within society. This vision is rooted in the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness.
Currently our community is experiencing heartbreak and upheaval from reports of sexual misconduct by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Shambhala’s lineage holder, as well as questions of accountability among senior Shambhala leadership, which are being investigated by a third-party investigator. We take these allegations seriously and are committed to addressing harm of all kinds within our community. Please click here to learn more about this commitment.
