In Hinduism, Mount Kailash is identified with the mythical Mount Meru and regarded as the home of Shiva ; in Vajrayana Buddhism, Mount Kailash is recognized as the most sacred place where all the dragon currents converge and is regarded as the gateway to Shambhala.

The term Shambhala Buddhism was introduced by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche in the year 2000 to describe his presentation of the Shambhala teachings, originally conceived by Chögyam Trungpa as secular practices for achieving enlightened society, in concert with the Tibetan Buddhist Kagyu and Nyingma lineages.

Shambhala Buddhism partly derives from the teachings of Shambhala, as originally proclaimed by Chögyam Trungpa, which state that " there is a natural source of radiance and brilliance in the world, which is the innate wakefulness of human beings.

" Furthermore, Shambhala vision applies to people of any faith, not just people who believe in Buddhism ... the Shambhala vision does not distinguish a Buddhist from a Catholic, a Protestant, a Jew, a Moslem, a Hindu.

However, there are also aspects of Shambhala Buddhism that are unique to the sangha, known as Shambhalian practices.

The Shambhala of Chögyam Trungpa is essentially a secular approach to meditation, with roots in Buddhism as well as in other traditions, but accessible to individuals of any, or no religion.

After the year 2000, with the merging of the secular teachings of Shambhala and the Buddhist teachings of Vajradhatu into Shambhala Buddhism, completion of Shambhala Vajrayana Seminary ( which itself requires taking Buddhist refuge and bodhisattva vows, as well as Buddhist vajrayana samaya vows ) became a condition for receiving the highest Shambhala teachings, such as those of Werma and the Scorpion Seal Retreat.
