The St. Johnsbury Shambhala Center announces:

The Art of Being Human:
Discovering Basic Goodness in Ourselves and the World

Shambhala Training Level 1
June 9 - 11
Roger Guest - Director

A basic truth of the Shambhala teachings is that we all want to lead sane, dignified lives, and that this is possible. If we look directly at our own experience, we can discover a continuity of wakeful dignity underlying all changing conditions. This wholesome, wakeful presence is referred to in Shambhala Training as basic goodness.

The Shambhala teachings recognize that this truth of innate human wisdom and basic goodness does not belong to any one religion or doctrine. We can appreciate all genuine contemplative paths, whether they stem from the great religions, the arts, or from native spirituality; however, this wisdom arises only when the grasping and confusion of ego is stilled through a commitment to a contemplative discipline.

This weekend program begins Friday night at 7 pm .
Saturday goes from 9 am - 5 pm and on Sunday we begin at 9 am and end at 1pm.
Shambhala Training is a series of contemplative workshops, suited for both beginning and experienced meditators. The simple and profound technique of mindfulness and awareness is the basis of a secular path of meditation, which can benefit people of any spiritual tradition and way of life
