Letter to Shambhala Transition Team

It is heartbreaking to see former Sangha Family members pushed out of their home because they still hold their hearts true to the Kagu & Nyingma & original Shambhala Teachings they were suckeled on.

Do it please

This has been my wish since a long time. Thank you!

Yes! Let's work together to restore the heart's blood of this lineage and community!

Trungpa Rinpoche’s Buddhist teachings and our ties to the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages are too valuable to let go— please consider this for the sake of future generations!

This is an opportunity for healing and inclusivity....thank you for naming this.

Please broaden the Interim Board as requested in this letter, as a good first step to help fulfill this very worthy and heartfelt aspiration prayer to bring us all back together.

Yes!

If anything the petition doesn’t go far enough to get the current mis-management out of the picture, to get a full, transparent accounting of the finances, including the funds spent on a PR firm.

Please revitalize our Kargyu and Nyingma traditions by including teachings and visiting teachers.

Wholeheartedly support this effort

Canada

I fully support this request that you include VACT's longtime students on the interim board-- those who have continued their practice in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions. We have felt the pain of separation for a long time. There is no time like the present. We were, and can again be one sangha.

I feel strongly that it has been a huge mistake to abandon VCTR teachings and practices. And pushing out our elders and teachers who carry these teachers

In full agreement

Thank you for writing this petition. May the healings begin!

Loyalty is a two way street in the dharma. There is much unresolved pain from removing an entire generation of loyal dharma practitioners who inherited the dharma of the great Vidyadhara. Shambhala owes them a huge apology for discarding their wisdom, and generosity in helping to create the Mandala of the great mahasiddha.

Pls highly consider this request as a member and financial supporter of boulder and smc I feel that the bsc has really lost support from.the outside community since the change with the absence of Buddhist alternative teachers.. In addition it is so sad that so many practicing Buddhists where turned away from shambhala and even as a choppen for Vj.and ck feasts i was separated out and excluded from sss feasts as a choppen because i was as budfhist despite having practiced with the sakong..even though i was a sss practioner .and shambhala practioner ..so many practioners with years of experience would be such an asset at this time given that the intersection of both practices unites...pls this was such a painful situation...thanks maria asztalos

Yes, this is about roots and heritage at the deepest level

It's so important to continue Trunpa Ricpoche's legacy. Thank for this letter Bakes! The Sawang's way has failed in a very big way on several levels. Now it is time to bring the Kagyu back... our heritage!
