Welcome to the Dot’s online archives:
back issues of Shambhala’s former community newspaper (from Winter 2002/03
to Spring 2009) - The shambhala times can be found here.
For seven years, the Dot
published news about Shambhala’s worldwide community. Stories included various
interviews with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche over the years, major events and happenings
(the Sakyong Wangmo Empowerment of August 2008, an interview with the Sakyong
Wangmo Chöying Sangmo and our royal couple, their Halifax wedding and Orissa
wedding celebration, His Holiness the 17th
Karmapa’s first U.S. visit), social action, global and society announcements,
teachings, Shambhala culture, profiles about various centers and community members
around the world, and lots of community news. Please enjoy these extensive collections
of moments captured from Shambhala’s recent past.
Special thanks to Ross Hunter who suggested
archiving
the Dot online and did all the
work to make it happen.
