Shambhala Membership Oath

Inspired by the vision of Shambhala,

to create enlightened society,

I hereby affirm my commitment to the path of meditation

as presented by the Kongma Sakyong, Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche and the

Druk Sakyong, Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche.

I pledge to practice, uphold, and propagate

the disciplines of sitting meditation

and meditation in action,

continually working with myself and others

with bravery, gentleness,

a sense of humor, and exertion.

Following the path of basic goodness,

basking in the glory of the Great Eastern Sun,

appreciating every moment,

enjoying the precision and elegance of Shambhala culture,

and working for the benefit of others,

I express the binding wisdom of Shambhala.

Committing my support to carry out this vision,

I hereby take this Shambhala oath.
