"Quick update on the Cameron Peak Fire – it is 27% contained, and has now burned over 104,845 acres. Here is some text from a local FD along the Big Thompson corridor (south of SMC), date time 8pm Saturday 9/26: There are other Shambhala-friendly related entities up there, like Bob and Lindy King's land here, but they are owned not by the official orgs but by acolytes like parcel #3922000030.įor a fun trip down the convoluted lanes of legal entities (at least in CO) check out this site and start with a search for Shambhala: Note both entities are controlled by the singular member, the Sakyong Potrang, but they are different entities that own the different parcels of land. Here's their latest update to their articles of Incorporation: They own the "downtown" areas and everything but the Stupa and "Kasung Land." That is owned by Shambhala USA (CO ID#19871254258), another legal entity.

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. The current moderators stand in solidarity with those who have shared their experiences of abuse and mistreatment. We have three guiding principles at this time: Whether you're an active Shambhala member, an ex-Shambhalian, confused about your relationship to Shambhala, you came here because of that Shambhala meme account that dislikes our subreddit, or you've just randomly stumbled on this place, we're glad you're here. This subreddit is a place where all are welcome. This sub is in no way associated with Shambhala International.

We were listening to the scanner the night the fire blew through here. (credit: CBS)Įmployees at the Shambhala Center thanked firefighters for their tireless efforts to save much of the property, even as the fire came through. However, the iconic Stupa was spared, but only by feet. One beloved property, the Shambhala Mountain Center, lost several structures.
