Basic goodness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basic goodness is the belief that human beings are essentially good, and that the experience of this is available to all. This idea is at the core of the Shambhala Vision of Chögyam Trungpa, and experiencing it is the main topic of Level One of the Shambhala Training curriculum that he established.
