Shambhala Shining

Shambhala. A mysterious kingdom of Light and Good, peace and justice in Buddhism. A hidden country from the outside world, where people who have achieved enlightenment and purified themselves from earthly weaknesses, passions, and sins reside. An earthly paradise, the path to which is accessible only to a few chosen ones. Does it exist — Shambhala Shining? Or is it just a poetic symbol? And if Shambhala does exist somewhere beyond our ordinary perception — how to find the way there? In the small work Shambhala Shining, written in the traditional Buddhist form of a philosophical dialogue between a wise Teacher and a curious disciple asking questions, in this case, the author himself plays the role of the disciple, the great philosopher-visionary reveals to the reader the way to attain Shambhala. The book also includes a selection of philosophical essays, sketches, and articles by Nikolai Roerich.
