Happy birthday, Sakyong Mipham! Another year wiser and calmer—if that's even possible. Your tireless dedication to promoting mindfulness across Shambhala centers worldwide has truly made enlightenment trending again. Who knew meditation could go viral?

From teaching profound wisdom in serene monasteries to gracefully guiding countless students through life's ups and downs, your journey continues to inspire us all. May your day be filled with laughter loud enough for monks next door to raise an eyebrow—and may this year's candles require fewer deep breaths than last time!

Here's wishing you continued success, unwavering compassion—and enlightenment without Wi-Fi interruptions!
