What we are saying in Shambhala
and what the Dorje Dradul [Trungpa Rinpoche] was saying and what we are expressing here
is again that society is not a Utopian state;
but that it is a society that has enough confidence and trust
to acknowledge humanity's most innate principle;
and traditionally society is actually defined as a network of individuals
who are brought together by a common purpose or principle.
What is the principle of our society now?
Well the notion of enlightened society is that
if at the subliminal level that we can create a society where enlightenment is not a state,
but is a descriptive adjective, in that it is the willingness for us to
wake up and look and to see what our nature is and what society’s nature is.
