Code of Conduct Hub
Welcome to the Hub for the Shambhala Code of Conduct
Important Note:
As per the Shambhala Board Resolution, until the new Code of Conduct goes into effect on Shambhala Day 2021, the International Care and Conduct Panel manages formal complaints raised, following the existing Shambhala Care and Conduct Policy. Access the current Care and Conduct Policy here.
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.
