FATHERS AND MOTHERS OF SHAMBHALA

Over the centuries, there have been many who have sought the ultimate 
good and have tried to share it with their fellow human beings. To 
realize it requires immaculate discipline and unflinching conviction. 
Those who have been fearless in their search and fearless in their 
proclamation belong to the lineage of master warriors, whatever their 
religion, philosophy, or creed. What distinguishes such leaders of 
humanity and guardians of human wisdom is their fearless expression 
of gentleness and genuineness -- on behalf of all sentient beings. We 
should venerate their example and acknowledge the path that they have 
laid for us. They are the fathers and mothers of Shambhala, who make 
it possible, in the midst of this degraded age, to contemplate 
enlightened society.
