Resources for Helping our Sangha to Understand Current Events in Shambhala

Our Shambhala community has been rocked by recent allegations of sexual misconduct by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Our hearts go out to people within our international community who have been harmed, and also to people for whom these allegations have brought up past trauma.

We are committed to transparency, and offer the resources below to help you keep up-to-date on developments . Our intent is to remain in a place of openness and listening to our community, and to try our best to pass on any information that we receive.

We intend to continue holding gatherings for sangha members to share and offer support to one another. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like to join the next gathering.

With warmth,

Auckland Shambhala Centre
