Shambhala Training Level IV: Awakened Heart [In-Person]

With trust in basic goodness and daring to experience the sharp edge of reality, we move forward with gentleness, increased awareness, and inquisitiveness about the world, as it is, and ourselves, just as we are. We can extend ourselves to others fully and with kindness.
