This model of the prophecy comes from a twelve-centuries previous textual content from the Kalachaka Tantra in Tibet. The Shambhala Warrior is a metaphor for what we name the “Bodhisattva” in our custom.
“There comes a time when all life on Earth is at risk. At the moment nice powers have arisen, barbarian powers, and though they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate one another, they’ve a lot in frequent. Among the many issues these barbarians have in frequent are weapons of unfathomable devastation and demise and applied sciences that lay waste to the world. And it’s simply at this level in our historical past, when the way forward for all beings appears to hold by the frailest of threads, that the dominion of shambhala emerges. Now, you’ll be able to’t go there as a result of it’s not a spot. It exists within the hearts and minds of the shambhala warriors….
“Now the time is coming when nice braveness is required of the shambhala warriors: ethical braveness and bodily braveness, and that’s as a result of they’ll go proper into the center of the barbarian powers to dismantle their weapons. They’ll go into the pits and citadels the place the weapons are made and deployed. They’ll go into the corridors of energy the place the selections are made, to dismantle the weapons in each sense of the phrase. The shambahla warriors know that these weapons could be dismantled as a result of they’re made by the human thoughts. They are often unmade by the human thoughts. The risks that face us usually are not introduced upon us by some satanic deity, or some evil extraterrestial pressure or some unchangeable preordained destiny. They come up out of {our relationships} and habits, out of our priorities. They’re made by the human thoughts; they are often unmade by the human thoughts.
“Now could be the time the shambhala warriors go into coaching. They practice in the usage of two implements. One is compassion and the opposite is perception into the novel interdependence of all phenomena. You want each. You want the compassion as a result of that gives the gasoline to maneuver you out the place it is advisable to be to do what it is advisable to do. Which means not being afraid of the struggling of your world. If you’re not afraid to be with that ache, then nothing can cease you. You could be and do what you’re meant to.
“However by itself that implement could be very scorching – it could actually burn you out. So that you want that different instrument – you want the perception into the novel interconnectivity on the coronary heart of existence, the net of life, our deep ecology. When you have got that, then you realize that this isn’t a battle between good guys and dangerous guys. You understand that the road between good and evil runs by means of the panorama of each human coronary heart. And you realize that we’re so interwoven within the net of life that even the smallest act, with clear intention, has repercussions by means of the entire net past your capability to see. However that’s a bit cool; possibly even a bit summary. You want the warmth of the compassion – the interaction between compassion and knowledge.”
