Kootenay Shambhala members, we’ve all been invited to join a select group in testing the Shambhala Network, a new website that connects the global Shambhala community through email, groups and friends.

The Shambhala Network provides:
• an easy way to keep up with what’s happening locally, regionally, and internationally;
• online meeting spaces for practice groups, working groups, and other interest groups;
• a social networking system (think Shambhala Facebook); and
• too many other features to list here!

Beta is a technical term referring to a preliminary or testing stage of a software or hardware product. The Shambhala Network (Beta) is not yet fully functional, but it is functional enough for us to use it and offer feedback to help its developers identify bugs and make improvements.

To connect, go to Shambhala Network and enter your Shambhala Account login information. You can get a Shambhala Account through the Shambhala Account Password Centre.

While you’re on the Network, be sure to visit the Kootenay Community Room, a gathering place for Kootenay Shambhala members and friends and everyone else interested in our community. If you’re a member, you can request access to the Kootenay Council group, where you can participate in Centre administration.

For more information or assistance, contact us at nelsonbuddha@gmail.com.

Kootenay Shambhala Centre members can keep track of the Centre’s administrative developments by reading the meeting minutes posted on the Meeting Minutes & Notes page in the Members Area on our website.

The Shambhala Database (SDB) is a shared, online, secure membership database for use by the entire Shambhala community.

The “Member’s View” of the SDB allows members to review and update their own profiles, to look up fellow members, and also to set privacy settings so that only the information they want visible to other members is visible.

For example:
• Help Directory helps members get answers to their questions by providing resource person contact information and links to relevant documents.
• Email Services allow members to subscribe and post to a variety of lists.
• Vajradhatu Practice Manual contains practice and procedural instructions from the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
