Shambhala Training

Shambhala Training is a three-step mediation program, founded in 1977 by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche as a means to reach an audience beyond the Buddhist community. While teachers are all advanced practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhist meditation, for the first two levels of practice Buddhist language is kept to a minimum. In recent years, there has been a trend to recognize the possibility of even attaining the third level without any formal Buddhist guidance.
