(Online) The Four Dignities of Shambhala

The Four Dignities describe how warriors develop insight and strength that enables them to further shed their cocoons and engage fully in the world. Understanding how the dignities unfold can inspire one’s journey and enable one to discern, with awareness and delight, one’s progress on the path.

Training in the four dignities—Meek, Perky, Outrageous and Inscrutable—one matures as a warrior, widening one’s sphere of benevolent engagement in the world with humility, nobility, vision, upliftedness and delight.

A special invitation is made to those interested in repeating this program to refresh their connection with the dignities of Shambhala.
