From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shambhala Publications is an independent publishing company based in Boston, Massachusetts. According to the company, it specializes in "books that present creative and conscious ways of transforming the individual, the society, and the planet". Many of its books deal with Buddhism or related topics. It is named for Shambhala, a mystical kingdom hidden somewhere beyond the snowpeaks of the Himalayas in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Among its major authors are Chögyam Trungpa, Thomas Cleary, Ken Wilber, Fritjof Capra, Pema Chödrön, John Stevens, and Natalie Goldberg. Other authors include Albert Low and Dennis Lewis.
