Warrior Assembly and Post Warrior Assembly Curriculum

Warrior Assembly
The Warrior Assembly, the jewel of Shambhala Training and the culmination of the Sacred Path program, is a living teaching in creating enlightened society. Participants receive the transmission of advanced Shambhala warriorship practices and study the root text and commentary, The Golden Sun of the Great East. This text describes the principles and practice of Ashe, a simple and powerful practice that enables one to transform confusion and hesitation into wisdom and authenticity.

Practice of Authentic Presence
At the heart of the course is the transmission of the sadhana The Windhorse of Authentic Presence: Arousing the Confidence of Warrior-King Gesar by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

Kalapa Assembly
Kalapa Assembly is a fruition program for both the Shambhala Training as well of the Shambhala Buddhist Path. Participation in this program is through an application process, and represents a level of deep commitment to Shambhala and the work of creating enlightened society. It is in this context that participants pledge with the Sakyong to work in any way that they are capable, in any location in which they may be living, to bring pragmatic and compassionate ideals of enlightened society down to earth.
