Code of Conduct Hub

Welcome to the Hub for the Shambhala Code of Conduct

Do you have a concern?

Do you have a question, concern or complaint about possible misconduct in Shambhala? Please send an email to [email protected]. You may also want to read: “What to Do If you Have a Concern”.

Shambhala Vision tells us that we can experience a natural source of radiance and brilliance in the world, which is the innate wakefulness of human beings. From this wakefulness it is possible to create what the Shambhala tradition calls “enlightened society.” The Code of Conduct is intended as a mirror to support behavior that reflects our innate wakefulness.The Code of Conduct Hub is a place to find the Shambhala Code of Conduct Policies and Process. It contains a variety of information and resources about how the Code is implemented in Shambhala.
