Of the Two Witnesses, Hold the Principal One.
—Atisha
 
This slogan from Atisha, an 11th CE Buddhist Teacher, points to the necessary differentiation that is needed when there are competing truths—and when we experience confusion around what is true for us. We live in a time of conflicting truths, fake news, and journalistic sensationalism. It's hard to hold to our own compass of what's right and wrong, and whats true and not true.
 
Come explore the nuance of this Buddhist slogan in an evening of reflection and inquiry as we work towards finding our own innate truth and how to walk the Buddhist path in uncertain times.
 
Acharya Melissa Moore, Ph.D. is the founding Executive Director of Karuna Training, a 3-year certificate in Contemplative Psychology. She has dedicated her life to the Shambhala lineage and to practice and study of the Buddhadharma.

Generosity Policy
The San Francisco Shambhala Center is funded solely by your membership and program donations. Thank you for your generosity as you consider what you can pay for each program at our Center. We strive to price our programs in a way that accurately reflects the financial need of our Center and the cost to us of producing the program.

We are committed to offering our programs to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. If you are unable to meet any of our listed pricing tiers please contact us to discuss your current needs. In addition to offering scholarship pricing for those in need, we also offer the option of paying for some programs in installments.

In order to request use of the Generosity Policy, please contact the person listing under the program’s contact information, or email: info [at] sfshambhala [dot] org, at least one week prior to the program you wish to attend.

What is the Patron Price?
The other aspect of our Generosity Policy is our Patron Price. Those who are able to offer more than the regular program price can select the Patron Price option.  By selecting this option, your generosity is helping to cover the costs of those who may not be able to pay the full price of the program. Thank you for your consideration, and for helping all to receive the treasure of the Shambhala Dharma.

Work Study
We depend on volunteers to make all of our programs happen. If you are interested in offering your support in this way, please contact volunteer@sfshambhala.org. We would be very grateful.
