One of Tibet’s highest and most respected lamas elucidates the principles of Shambhala, the path to happiness, as set down by his legendary father, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In a book that combines philosophy and practicality, Sakyong Mipham, the leader of a global community of meditation centers rooted in the Shambhala tradition, explains in simple language the goodness of humanity and illuminates how we can rediscover the peace that exists within each of us. The key is the right form of meditation, one that can be used to cultivate goodness and intelligence, and, in turn, transform our minds, bodies, and souls.

"At a time when we can either destroy the world or create a good future, Sakyong Mipham proposes to use the power of goodness to solve our problems. In this surprising and inspiring book the author develops the view that humanity at the core is basically complete, good, and worthy. If you feel sometimes overwhelmed by the daily crimes and disasters, this is a healing book and a basis for hope, one that shows how basic goodness can begin to affect our homes, workplaces, hospitals, and schools, extending all the way to our economic and political systems." —Lothar Schäfer, author of Infinite Potential: What Quantum Physics Reveals about How We Should Live

SAKYONG MIPHAM is the head of the Shambhala lineage, which is grounded in the power of creating enlightened society in everyday life. With a unique blend of Eastern and Western perspectives, he teaches this way of social transformation throughout the world. In addition, he extends his vision to a number of humanitarian projects in Asia and the West. He is the author of the bestselling titles Running with the Mind of Meditation, Ruling Your World, and Turning the Mind into an Ally.

“In this rich and touching book, Sakyong Mipham recounts his relationship with his father, Chögyam Trungpa, to illustrate his personal journey of discovering the Shambhala principle of basic goodness and enlightened society. His contemplation of humanity’s true nature invites us all to do the same: dig deep into our hearts and bring forth the jewel that will illuminate our own inherent worthiness and that of society—as well as the worthiness of the beautiful earth we inhabit.  This is the love that connects us all.
I hope everyone will join Sakyong Mipham in this global conversation. This is a pivotal book for our time.” —Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart
