Understanding Recent Events in Shambhala
In July 2018, the Shambhala international community was rocked by allegations of sexual misconduct by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Our hearts go out to people within our international community who have been harmed.
Sakyong Mipham has relinquished his teaching and administrative involvement with Shambhala for the foreseeable future. Shambhala internationally has a new Board of Directors, to replace the former Shambhala Board, and a Process Team has been established to support necessary healing, community building and governance directions.
Auckland Shambhala is an independent charitable trust. Our intent is to continue to offer the teachings and practices of Shambhala and Buddhism in our location.
With warmth,
Auckland Shambhala Centre
