The practice of meditation has been taught for over 2,500 years as a vehicle for realizing the beauty and magic of the ordinary world without aggression or manipulation.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">worldwide community of over 200 meditation centres on five continents provide meditation instruction and the opportunity to develop awareness and compassion in everyday life.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Shambhala International</em> was founded during the early 1970s by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher who helped to bring Buddhism to the west. The international organization is now directed by son and heir of the Vidyadhara, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.</span></span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Shambhala teachings present a unique view that combines the practice of meditation and contemplative arts as a path to living an uplifted life, fully engaged with the world.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></div></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Way of Shambhala </em>is a series of programs designed to introduce the Shambhala teachings that were founded on the premise that there is basic human wisdom that can help to solve the world's problems. This wisdom does not belong to any one culture or religion. Rather, it is a tradition of human warriorship that has existed in many cultures at many times throughout history.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Shambhala is a secular meditation program which emphasizes both a deepening experience of meditation and an integration of that experience into daily life. By bringing the mindfulness cultivated through meditation into everyday experience, we are able to change our own lives and the world around us.</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: verdana;"><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our Buffalo group is bound by both Lake Erie and the Niagara River. The waterfront city is also just twenty miles from Niagara Falls and </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">home to several colleges, universities, museums and parks...as well as a growing arts community. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We meet in the historic Allentown neighborhood at the <em>The C.G. Jung Cente</em>r in their victorian era home. This location is distinguished by a three hundred year old sycamore tree that is reported to be the oldest tree in Buffalo.</span> <span style="font-family: verdana;">We are happy to be a part of this rich and diverse community, including the network of other local buddhist meditation groups.</span></span>Buffalo Shambhala Meditation Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03628165963246033688noreply@blogger.com0
