About Wellington Shambhala Meditation Centre
We are part of Shambhala International, a worldwide community of meditation centres founded by meditation master Vidyadhara Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
His
teachings bring together three streams of wisdom:
- the Kagyu and Nyingma teachings of Tibetan Buddhism
- the wisdom teachings of Shambhala
It is the Shambhala view that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness, warmth and intelligence.
