The Peace of Shambhala

[Bishadi]

in a sense of the term; how about assistence in defining.

 

Here is one:

 

 

Shambhala Kingdom is seen as enlightened society that people of all faiths can aspire to and actually realize. The path to this is provocatively described as the practice of warriorship - meeting fear and transcending aggression, and of secular sacredness - joining the wisdom of the past and one's own culture with the present in nowness.

 

Seems like Shambhala has a few meening. As for equality to reign, then the experience of knowledge must combine with existence for Peace to exist within each consciously.

 

The warriors are the defenders during the coming crisis (war). In which the global judgement will be between 'brothers' before the new beginning is universal.

Not quite!

 

 

try another opinion for example

 

 

 

The Kingdom of Shambhala takes a central place in the Kalachakra teachings. Shambhala (Tib. bde 'byung) is a Sanskrit term meaning place of peace/tranquility/happiness. Shakyamuni Buddha is said to have taught the Kalachakra tantra on request of King Suchandra, also the teachings are said to be preserved there. Shambhala is said to be a society where all the inhabitants are enlightened, centered around a capital city called Kalapa. War and injustice are said to be unknown there, and it is said to be peopled by beautiful women and men dwelling in magnificent abodes.

 

Shambhala is ruled over by the Kulika or Kalki (Tib. Ridgen) King, a benevolent monarch who upholds the integrity of the Kalachakra tantra. Religious scholars believe that this figure developed out of the myth of the Hindu conqueror Kalki, a similar personage. The Kalachakra prophesizes that when the world declines into war and greed, and all is lost, the twenty fifty Kalika king will emerge from Shambhala with a huge army to vanquish the corrupt world rulers and usher in a worldwide Golden Age

[lokeshvara]

shambhala teachings in the kalacakra are quite interesting as it is one of the few escatological texts in the buddhist world.

 

the text describes the inhabbitants being both followers of sanathana and buddha dharmas. the head general there is Sri Hanuman and if i remember correctly, it's either the first king or the last king of shambhala is Rudra. The prophecy talks a lot about the mlecchas being the enemies of dharma that will try to destroy all dharma under the banner of their 10 prophets (includes abhraham, noah, jesus, mohammad, and madhi among others)

 

when the mlecchas over run the world shambhala will enter into this world (the portal is believed to be located where the brahmaputra and sarasvati rivers meet) or so says the tradition anyway.

 

i'm curious though, why do you bring this topic up?

Lord Kalki will appear in the home of the most eminent brähmana of Sambhala village, the great soul Visnuyaçä.

Its interesting to see how the buddhist and vedic texts

overlap and intertwine. I was reading this yesterday out

of interest while following the buddha thread. The eastern

process of unfolding of thought seems much different than

western religion in some ways.

 

 

...The interest of such an enquiry as

the above, despite its negative result, lies in the

picture it gives of the method by which Buddhism

adapted itself to fresh currents of thought and

feeling in a method in complete contrast with that

of Christianity. Whenever, under the influence of

fresh environment or creative individual thought,

the Buddhists were attracted

P.351

 

 

by a new point of view, they felt the necessity of

investing this point of view with written authority.

Thus, so long as the religion was a living organism,

its scriptures continually expanded and the

Tripitaka in its Hiinayaana and Mahaayaana forms is

in itself a history of Buddhism. Such a method,

implying as it does in the faithful a critical

capacity so limited that they will be at any moment

ready to accept a modern document as the

newly-recovered teaching of the Founder, was not

possible in the West. Instead, the Christian Church

has often been forced to adopt a complicated

metaphorical interpretation of its Scriptures,

particularly of the Old Testament, but has (since a

very early period) scrupulously avoided the policy

of expansion and interpolation which produced the

riches of the Tripitaka. Thus, whereas in the West

it is to the works of theologians that we must turn

if we wish to study the successive phases of

Christianity, in Buddhism the whole process of growth

lies open before us in the scriptures themselves.

The Western method has its advantages. It is easy

to regard past theologians as fallible. In Buddhism

on the contary the successive stages of doctrine,

often irreconcilable with what went before, are

expounded in scriptures which all make equal claim

to be the actual words of Buddha. The difficulty was

met, inadequately enough, by maintaining that the

later scriptures had been mysteriously 'held up'

till the world was in a fit state to receive them...

Life of the same light. or simply the lineage through time has the same spark... often called 'reincarnated.'

 

 

The prophecy talks a lot about the mlecchas being the enemies of dharma that will try to destroy all dharma under the banner of their 10 prophets (includes abhraham, noah, jesus, mohammad, and madhi among others)

As to combine the knowledge of the global traditions and contributions then a single form of Understanding literally exists between the combination; upon this; the religions will end as the guide to the collective.

 

 

when the mlecchas over run the world shambhala will enter into this world (the portal is believed to be located where the brahmaputra and sarasvati rivers meet) or so says the tradition anyway.

Each have tradition, each have prophecies, each have hope, many have faith; truth only exist one way.

 

To see additional teachings then find, each share a similar frame, that a single man will bring in the true, and will walk, alive during the final conveyance to live among the family within a land pure to existence (nature). Shambhala. To know where, see the indigenous to north america (Hopi) ... see the Taos Pueblo and behind the town is sacred land left untouched by human encoachment. As the contributer (teacher) is born in the west, be certain he will reside in the west, in the mountains of 2 rings.

 

 

 

i'm curious though, why do you bring this topic up?

 

maybe on another thread...
