Our only reliable source of strength is the goodness of our hearts. Our only foundation for coming to terms with the suffering of the times is our innate need to be decent human beings.
We want to infuse our day with good habits so that we can turn seemingly mundane situations into a ceremony of goodness.
Enlightened Society is all about nurturing the human spirit - waking up to the goodness, kindness and strength that we already have.
When we are using this term 'basic goodness,' we are talking about our inherent completeness.
Shambhala teachings say we all have the potential to accomplish our enlightened nature - our basic goodness.
The first thing you have to do is acknowledge the basic and fundamental goodness of all beings. If you don't, then you are going to have conflict. That's at the core of Shambhala.
Shambhala vision is universal. It has no bias towards one type of culture or group. It is not ethnocentric and does not encourage one specific kind of person, race, or religion. Shambhala vision promotes a universality in relationship to basic goodness. All human beings are basically good and an enlightened society, at various levels of manifestation, can occur in any culture.
If we can feel confident in our goodness, it will illuminate our life and society
