The Sakyong,

Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche

"In essence, the emphasis of the Buddhist path is to help us attain enlightenment, and the emphasis of the Shambhala path is help us create and maintain a good society. When we put these two together, we have the Shambhalian Buddhist view of enlightened society."

Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
