We invite you explore this site to learn more about the Shambhala Archives—what we have been doing, and what we are planning for the future.
The Shambhala Archives is a repository of recordings and holdings from Venerable Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche—the current lineage holder of the Shambhala Tradition, and other Buddhists teachers.
The collection includes film, audio and video recordings, photographs, negatives, transparencies, manuscripts, transcripts, books, and artwork. It is one of the largest audio-visual collections of Tibetan Buddhist teachers in the West.
Due to COVID-19 Provincial guidelines, Shambhala Archives is operating with reduced hours
Archives will be open by appointment only from 10-4pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and limited staff will be present.
There is a sign-up sheet and hand sanitizer available at the entrance. Face coverings are mandatory, and we are practicing social distancing.
To make an appointment, please contact Jeanne Riordan by e-mail at [email protected] or phone at 902-420-1118;118.
