All sentient beings are endowed with wisdom, compassion, and power, yet we suffer through confusion about what our true nature is. In the early stages of the path, we work to free ourselves from our confusion and suffering. When we attain some confidence and realize that beings are still caught in suffering, we become inspired to dedicate our lives to helping them. We might take the bodhisattva vow and formally undertake the disciplines of a warrior bodhisattva.

The bodhichitta practices for waking up our hearts are the core disciplines of the mahayana journey. This course will focus on these practices we cultivate in our training on the bodhisattva path. This class is open to all and is a prerequisite for those aspiring to take the bodhisattva vow.

Programs without a price are free. For those programs with a price listed, please do not let price be an obstacle. Visit our generosity policy page.

When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
