THE SIEGE OF SHAMBHALA:

TIBETAN BUDDHIST ESCHATOLOGY

Tibetan Buddhist eschatology, notably the lore which appears in the Kalachakra Tantra, differs in important respects from that of other forms of Buddhism. In Tibet by Thubten Jigme Norbu (Simon & Schuster, 1968), a tulku of the Gelugpa Lineage and elder brother of the Dalai Lama, the following account is given, which has clear affinities with the eschatologies of many other traditions. The Shambhala Smonlam says:

Fearless, in the midst of your army of gods,

Among your twelve divisions,

You ride on horseback.

You thrust your spear toward the chest of Hanumanda,

Minister of the evil forces drawn up

Against Shambhala.

So shall evil be destroyed.
