Shambhala Congress
The Shambhala Congress is a major gathering of the Shambhala community, open to any member. Its purpose is to explore major issues of concern and provide a forum for direct discussion between representatives of the entire community and the Sakyong, President and other leaders of the mandala. Major proposals arising from the working groups formed at previous congresses are discussed, and space is kept open for on-the-spot exploration of any themes that arise.
