Shambhala Mountain Center
If space to roam is what you seek, try a visit
to Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado.
Tibetan monk Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
founded this 600-acre Buddhist retreat center
in 1971, offering teachings and a 108-foot tall
stupa for worship. Located in the mountains rising
around Fort Collins, Colorado, the center is easily
accessed and provides amazing views.

faith and tight bonds of family and community. A
