The Shambhala Community Plan (the
Plan in brief or the Plan in
one page)
At the first Shambhala Congress in Halifax in November 2003, more than 200 participants from all parts
of our community formed into topic groups, generated a wide range of ideas, and called for immediate
follow-up on issues affecting the well-being of our mandala. This plan extends that process of community
engagement to all Shambhalians.
