The third day of the Losar is traditionally graced by the Dalai Lama

himself, when he calls upon the deities to tell the Tibetan masses about

any imminent calamity or any significant event in store for the ensuing

year.

 

The divination is performed by writing a number of possible events on bits

of paper and rolling them into balls of ''tsampa'' (roasted barley flour).

 

The Dalai Lama then picks one of them and makes a prediction. The ball he

had chosen last year in Febuary on the third day of the Losar had stated

that an earthquake of high intensity might occur in the country or in the

northern region of the country during the new Tibetan year ( 2000-2001).

 

The prophesy by the spiritual 'guru' of the Tibetans had since been

confirmed by all the four Tibetan state oracles and other Lamas of highest

wisdom.

 

The final confirmation had then come from the Nechung Oracle, the senior

state oracle, who is often consulted on crucial matters by the Tibetans in

exile.
