The Reiki Cafe 

I am in searchof a teacher of shamballa can any help me find this person?If so please let me know as soon as possible.

If you don't mind sharing, I wondering what you seek in this persuit of a shamballa teacher?

Namaste,
Michael

actually Im not sure but I feel its the way I should go, if you have some ideas Im open to hear them.

It sounds like one of those "designer modalities". In the end it your own practice and effort that get you 'there'. I would suggest yoga or qi gong (or better both) to augment your Reiki and meditation efforts. Stick with the tried and true I say.

Namaste,
Michael

Hi, I haven't heard of Shamballa but I read about Shambhala in Tibet.

They seems like cool people: they use "force field" for many things and they help others thru the temples. Even if that if all fantasy, it sure sounds great. Which means we don't need things like doors made from wood or seats made from fabric.

Otoharo!

There is a series of books called Masters of the Far East that mention Shamballa, I think. Its been a long time since I read them.

Shamballa is the spiritual center that is invisible to us, as I understand it. It is not superior to the spirituality we have access to. I suspect it is where the hiarchy reside, but I do not know. Overseeing energy does not imply superiority.

Indeed it does sound great.

Greetings,

Well it get's confusing. There are three possible things you can mean when discussing Shambhala other than of couse fictional stories:

Shambhala is a name for a paradise hidden away in the Himalayas. According to Tibetan Buddhism, it is filled with great adepts (mahasiddhas) and bodhisattvas (future buddhas) who work to benefit all sentient beings. The Kalachakra Initiation given by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and other high lamas is supposed to bring about a return to that kind of realm.

Shambhala is also the name of a meditation system developed by a Tibeatn Buddhist lama named, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. (Rinpoche is a title given to great Buddhist masters in Tibet. It means "Precious Jewel".) Trungpa Rinpoche formed this group based on elements of Tibetan and Japanese Buddhism, and Mindfulness meditative practices, as well as the art of a "Spiritual Warrior" -- someone who fights his or her own demons to attain spiritual mastery. They have centers all over the world. You can find more info about this group at . It is currently directed by Trungpa Rinpoche's son and sucessor, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

Finally, there is a system of Healing which I believe is formally known as "Shamballa Multidimensional Healing", and everything I have heard about it makes it sound like Karuna to me., but I have never experienced it.

In Dharma,

Wow. I'm glad that Shambhala is known by so many in terms of retreat centres etc. Also that centres are now found in many places.
sure wish that the original Shambhala is still around.

I wonder if it is hard to learn the principals offered there.

ps: please share your experiences if you have been to any. thanks in advance. :)
