More quotes by Sakyong Mipham
Shambhala teachings say we all have the potential to accomplish our enlightened nature - our basic goodness.
Sakyong Mipham
Shambhala existed in Tibet and has been continued over the years, and now it is in the West. At its core, it is very much dedicated to the basic theme of benefiting others.
Sakyong Mipham
There is a tendency sometimes within the Shambhala community to make it just about meditating and, so, less about compassion. Shambhala is based upon compassion, but a lot of people come in and say, I need to get more meditation. I need to do this for me, me, me. That's fine, but the view here is much more societal.
Sakyong Mipham
What is my great wish and intention, is to make a base of compassion and to encourage people to work to shift the energy.
Sakyong Mipham
When we are certain that the way to accomplish our own wishes is to help others, we have no regrets.
Sakyong Mipham
The notion of auspiciousness is something positive, something with forward momentum, coming out of our actions.

Enlightened Society is all about nurturing the human spirit - waking up to the goodness, kindness and strength that we already have.

I think Shambhala can be a very strong force as a social example of how you can try to live a life balanced in terms of both the spiritual and the secular.
Sakyong Mipham
Our power comes not from suppressing others but from uplifting them.
Sakyong Mipham
If we are going to live in a society, there has to be an attitude where people really do care for others.
Sakyong Mipham
You need to eat well, sleep well, and have a roof over your head, but don’t go much further than that before extending yourself to others.
Sakyong Mipham
It is said that if our intention is to help others-even if we are unable to follow it through-we will never have any regret. Regret is a result of trying to make me happy.
Sakyong Mipham
For me, language and how I use it are very important. I held back on doing a poetry book, walking the fine line between trying to be helpful and just putting more junk out there.
Sakyong Mipham
A lot of people talk about the spirituality of Buddhism, and it is a spiritual discipline. But in Shambhala there also is a notion that you have to be synchronized with both heaven and earth.
Sakyong Mipham
The principles of Buddhism have become more commonplace, which is a good thing.
Sakyong Mipham
As a leader, people push you. They really want to keep pushing you until you get aggressive. Then they say, Oh, see, it doesn't work.
Sakyong Mipham
When stress is the basic state of mind, even good things stress us out. We have to learn to let go.
Sakyong Mipham
If you want to be miserable, think of yourself. If you want to be happy, think of others.
Sakyong Mipham
Each of us holds human destiny in our hands. It will be completely determined by how the mind feels about itself.
