Shambhala Chicago supports the protests against systemic racism taking place in our city and country, and we are committed to examining own internal workings in the effort toward making the Center and its programming more inclusive. *  *  *A STATEMENT FROM SHAMBHALAAs we witness yet another instance of violence against Black Americans—a moment which stems from hundreds of years of systemic oppression—we Shambhala leaders wish to speak out not only to express our sorrow, outrage and emotion over this moment in time but to demonstrate a tangible commitment to action MORE  *  *  **Read about our COVID-19 Relief Fund.Featured ProgramsWhat the Buddha Taught Study Group ONLINE (Alternate Sundays) with Barbara WolkowitzMarch 22nd January 31st (2021)This study group will read, study, and contemplate the 52 slogans that are part of the Mahayana teachings of Lojong, or Training the Mind.
