Enlightened Society Assembly

Enlightened Society Assembly is a gathering of Shambhala warriors to contemplate, practice and manifest the principles of basic goodness in order to create a good human society. Students will deepen their commitment and intention to manifest basic goodness by taking the Enlightened Society Vow. We will practice the Shambhala Sadhana to support the journey of establishing trust and confidence in the basic goodness of oneself, others and society. We will contemplate how we can embody these principles to further personal and social transformation.

Dorje Denma Ling is hosting the only residential land centre Enlightened Society Assembly in North America during 2018. Attending Assembly at a land centre is a very powerful experience: a chance to live together as a society, be close to nature and have a full community experience of living together.
