The rest is owned by either Rocky Mountain Dharma Center and Shambhala Mountain Center (which are actually the same): ![]() Shambhala International owns the Stupa and the "Kasung Land": points at thread with ownership info in comment, copied in here: Keep up with the parts that you find the most important! Thanks everybody for your participation and concern. Here is a local plan with actual facts about the situation.Īnd here are the fire defensibility regs from FEMA. We don't need a guru to tell us about it. This $65,000 and people coming to help is more exploitation of the good heartedness that is already fucking there. People come out of the fucking woodwork when the place goes up in flames to help, while the owner sits his ass somewhere else and stays quiet, esp about the amount of moolah in his coffers already. There IS or WAS an official land steward position at one time, I wish we could here from folks with actual technical expertise and some actual facts and not so much groveling for fundraising. Saving the Trees campaign (prior to High Park Fire) ![]() Here's a set of links (I know, I'm sorry, but it's the internet, get over it, find ways to focus your time and energy where you want it to go.) Anyway, tiz said that SMC and all the rest of this Shambhala business is just that, a family business asset, to MJM and his in-laws, in particular.Īnd mostly I am still wondering whether any of those 17 structures were in use as year round residences for anybody? So far, what has been heard from the guru owner king? Who cannot come here perhaps due to potential legal issues. And the owner can barely manage a thoughts and prayers epistle let alone to dig in his pocketbook to contribute anything. Is anybody else sort of out of patience with a situation wherein the ashes of some people's parents are more worthwhile to defend from fire than people's residential situations? Where there are 700 miscellaneous people from whereever chipping in $65,000 so far and all sorts of folks with real skill sets (electricians, etc) offering to put their labor into the place.

This sub is still a place to connect with sangha and to discuss dharma and practice. Consider it a form of practice, if you like. No ad-homimen or other forms of personal attack - always try to refer to other poster's words only. Please note this includes doing so in a way that is meant to be supporting or affirming. Most critically: this sub will not host any discussion in which the details of individual accounts of abuse and misconduct are picked apart. This may include personal attacks, the posting of tropes common to abuse denial, so-called "gaslighting" in which others are called to question the validity and reality of their own experiences of abuse, and more. We will warn, suspend and eventually ban posters who engage in either the outright or implicit denial or minimization of reported experiences.

There have been numerous allegations against the organization's leader and head teacher, Sakyong Mipham and allegations that the organization's leadership endeavored to cover up a culture of sexual violence and secrecy. Shambhala is an international Buddhist organization in crisis.
