Overall the goals of the Church of Shambhala are to continue and expand the funding of Monastic projects, Sacred Sites, and reincarnated Saints - wherever they are located. It the belief of the Church of Shambhala that this sponsorship is in reality a sponsorship of humanity as a whole, furthering the blessing of virtue and loving wisdom that naturally emanates from these individuals and places to heal the planet and all sentient beings. To incarnate the Soul through the Personality, requires evolutionary, environmental conditions that are under the direct influence of Human Beings who have taken and fully mastered the first three initiations. These third degree initiates create a collective group known as the Sangha. The Sangha becomes the externalized expression of the Monad in a physical form known as the Ashram.
