WASHINGTON D.C. SHAMBHALA CENTER

We at the Shambhala Center of Washington DC had an open meeting to read the Treatise and discuss the Shambhala Congress.

We applaud the effort to host the Congress and felt the issues identified were certainly the primary ones we are concerned with.  We are particularly concerned with the financial health of Shambhala International and are exploring ways we at a local level can offer support while balancing our financial needs.

We also had a few suggestions to add:

• Communication:  ways to increase and support communication on all levels
• Health & Well Being:  strengthening trust & community, caring for welfare of others in need, vajra dusk - caring for our elders, retirement homes
• Training: regional training including for teachers, leadership, on going MI, conflict resolution etc.
• Regional Structure:  create workable regional structures for training, resource sharing and joint major programs

Thanks you for all your work
