Shambhala Part 1




September of last year I was privileged to be invited to the Shambhala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. The folks there were gracious and gave us a tour that included the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya. Just before we got to the stupa the sky turned dark and threatening and my heart sunk. But even though the Colorado blue sky was absent what the camera captured was even better. It is amazing that this building is entirely built with volunteer labor. It is so beautiful and a marvel to behold the craftsmanship. Come back for part 2 when I go inside the beautiful stupa.
