More about Shambhala Europe

Shambhala Europe is now a mandala of nearly 80 groups and centres, with 1900 members and friends. Shambhala Europe serves as both the seat of the Sakyong in Europe and as an organisation to help groups and centres with all manner of help and support.

The seat of Shambhala Europe is the Kalapa Centre Europe, in Cologne, Germany. The Kalapa Centre holds the offices of Shambhala Europe, as well as the official European seat of the Sakyong (called the Tenno Room). It also functions as a local Shambhala Centre and hosts local and international programmes, trainings, and special events.

Shambhala Europe is always available by phone or mail to give advice on any matter that arises in the activities of groups or practitioners.
