TEACHERS/LINEAGE The Shambhala Center of Minneapolis is part of Shambhala International, a worldwide association of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded in 1973 by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master, artist, author and poet. He was one of the most prominent Buddhist teachers of our time, and a pioneer in bringing Buddhism to the West. Today, the Shambhala tradition is carried on by Trungpa Rinpoche’s son and dharma heir, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. The Shambhala Buddhist path, unique in the world of Western Buddhism, combines the teachings of Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism with the Shambhala view of living an uplifted life, fully engaged with the world.
