Nova Scotia hosts "royal" Tibetan wedding
Halifax, Nova Scotia will play host to a wedding on June 10th between Sakyong Jamgon Mipham the leader of the international Shambala Buddhist movement, and Tseyang Palmo a Tibetan "Princess."
Nova Scotia has a thriving buddhist population, with the Shambala movement and its followers making up a significant portion of that. Considering the size of Nova Scotia's Asian population relative to other areas of Canada like Ontario and Vancouver, the success it has had in luring international religious organizations of Asian origin is impressive. Not only is it home to the Shambala headquarters as well as other Buddhist organizations, but Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's organization announced last year they would build a huge "meditation palace" in Nova Scotia.
