An Invitation To Membership In The Shambhala Center What does it mean to be a member of Shambhala? Becoming a member of Shambhala is a commitment to a compassionate participation in the path of awakening. Motivated by personal inspiration and social engagement, membership offers a means of supporting the vision of Shambhala through practice, financial contribution, and service. A member of Shambhala makes a connection to mindfulness-awareness practice, and works to integrate that practice into daily life. This connection may also be made through contemplative practices based on mindfulness-awareness. As part of the global mandala of Shambhala, members are dedicated to creating enlightened society. This is accomplished through individual and group practice, by supporting the mandala financially and by sharing in the tasks and responsibilities of manifesting Shambhala vision. As members of Shambhala we commit to:
We are willing to undertake regular mindfulness-awareness practice. This is the best way for all of us to support our Shambhala communities, our world, and ourselves.
We are willing to give regular financial support to our Shambhala community, based on our income and other financial obligations. Providing financial support to the Center is viewed as a part of our practice.
We are willing to donate our time to various tasks the Shambhala community needs accomplished, based on our abilities and time availability. Providing service to the Center likewise becomes a part of our practice. Benefits of Membership: While membership is an expression of generosity toward the Center and the community, we are able to offer members benefits including invitations to special members events and celebrations, 20% discount on programs; 15% discount at our bookstore; 15% discount at our rural retreat center, Sky Lake Lodge; a subscription to our community newsletter, CitySangha; and listing in the community directory. Patron of the Three Jewels Individuals who do not wish to become a full member, but would like to financially support the activities of the Shambhala Center are warmly invited to become a Patron of the Three Jewels. Patrons give donations on a monthly or annual basis and are automatically added to our mailing list and community directory. Patrons also receive a complimentary year-long subscription to the community newsletter, CitySangha. To learn more details about membership, click here!
