The mystery of Shambhala - the forgotten kingdom

For thousands of years, the Tibetan region on high terrain always attracts individuals who love mysticism and spirituality. In it, the kingdom of Shambhala, believed to be hidden behind the far northern mountains in the Himalayas, has always been the dream of many adventurers in the world.

Shambhala is the land mentioned in many ancient texts, in Sanskrit texts, even in the manuscripts of the Bon religion (ancient Tibetan religion) also mentioned Shambhala with the name . 'Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring '. Today, Shambhala also becomes the main topic in many Hollywood history and film books.

Among them was the famous movie titled 'Lost Horizon', produced in 1937 based on a novel of the same name, about the male protagonist's journey lost in the middle. High snow mountains in Tibet and then find Shambhala. Currently in China there is a land called Shangri-la (the main legend is Shambhala), but the explorers do not believe it is a mystical place, and still find the opportunity to explore the kingdom in legend.

Pure land and peace

The universe exists in many worlds with its own level, located in specific positions, which people want to reach must meet certain requirements. The Holy Land or Shambhala kingdom is one of countless mystical places like that.

According to many opinions, Shambhala has been buried somewhere in the thick layers of snow located atop the majestic Himalaya mountains. In the 20th century, explorers began the journey to search for Shambhala in Tibet - where writer James Hilton brought the place under the name Shangri-la into the novel Lost Horizon (Lost Skyline). ) . Since then, no one has discovered the exact location of the Shambhala kingdom, except the Zhongdian town located in the border area between China - Tibet, has been renamed as Shangri-la with the meaning of 'land. spirituality ' in 2011.

When the Russian philosopher Nicholas Roerich passed through the colorful mountains of Central Asia in 1926, he and his guides were shocked to witness an amazing scene. It was a golden sphere floating in the sky, moving from the Altai Mountains (located on the border areas of Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan) to the north at an amazing speed. The ball then moved a circuit to the west, then quickly disappeared.

Many believe that the underground world of Agharta is the forgotten Shambhala, possessing advanced technological wonders and incredible strength.

Some argue that Roerich's journey is not just a mere expedition, because he is trying to return a fragment of the legendary Cintamani rock (an object of the Buddha that can fulfill wishes and representing the values ​​and teachings of the Buddha) in its place in the center of the Shambhala kingdom, and the golden sphere is a sign of welcome.

The legend of Shambhala can be found in the teachings of Tantric Kalachakra, meaning ' time cycles' , this is a Tibetan Tantric practice. It is 'pure land', with a city like a lotus, existing in a space between matter and spirit. The capital of Shambhala is Kalapa, located in the center of the kingdom, where Wang of the world is located on his throne.

According to the teachings of Tibetan Tantra, only those who have pure minds and believe in karma can see this kingdom. Meanwhile, the old Boneless believers also mentioned a mysterious land not accessible to everyone, near Tibet's holy Kailash mountain. It is described as a Buddhist nirvana, where people enjoy endless happiness. The year-round snow-covered peak of Kailash is revered by Buddhists and Hindus as an extremely sacred, magical place.

According to the Tibetan Buddhist teachings, Shambhala is the 'pure and peaceful land of Buddhist beings' , and also where many other religious teachings were born. Shambhala is considered a legendary kingdom, where people open their hearts towards good and creative minds, seeking spirituality to enlighten the path of the future. In Buddhism in general, Shambhala is a place to welcome enlightened Buddhists who are always mindful and act according to the good. In Hinduism, Shambhala is written as Sambalah. And the ancient Chinese legend calls this kingdom 'forbidden Land' or 'Land of white water'.

There were many adventurers and searchers trying to locate Shambhala to put on a geographical map, but all failed. Most people believe that it is located somewhere in central Asia, probably in the Himalayas, or in a 'heaven' in the Gobi desert. Nicholas Roerich said that the Shambhala entrance was connected to a tunnel leading to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. But Nicholas Roerich is not the only one looking for Shambhala entrance. The Nazis also searched for this legendary city in many of their expeditions to Tibet in the 1930s.

And for centuries, Tibetan lamas have been searching for the true location of Shambhala, but they have left without ever returning. Maybe they found this mysterious land and stayed there, maybe they were killed in that search journey. In the end, no one had claimed to have found the mystic. What is still present for humans to find this place is just a hidden prophecy: when the world is engulfed in war and suffering, and all is destroyed, the 'Lord of the World' will appear. from Shambhala, along with a powerful army, will ward off darkness from Earth. An era of peace and prosperity will start from there.

The underground world

Shambhala is also known for various names such as 'Shangri-la' or 'Agharta' , which are particularly attractive because Tibetan mystical legends about a kingdom suddenly disappear. So far, the mysterious legends surrounding this lost kingdom have become an endless source of inspiration for interesting stories, and of course it seems clearer than prophecies.

Shambhala mysticism is described as the nirvana in Buddhism, where people enjoy endless happiness.

In the book Beast, Humanity and God , writer Ferdinand Ossendowski (1876-1945) recorded his own interesting experiences in Russia during the civil war in the country, and on his journey to Mongolia. Neck. But it is not a normal story. In chapter 46 of the Underworld, he tells of an unexpected event, at which time the Mongolian guide suddenly stops, jumps down from their camels and begins to pray, repeating the Strange words: ' Om! Mani padme Hung! '.

Later in the book, Ossendowski claimed to have discovered the "secret of secrets", the myth of the underground kingdom. He saw a cave, or a "smoke door," in which the locals said an ancient tribe had fled into a place called the "underground kingdom" . Finally, after many questions were raised, Ossendowski learned of the truth about this mysterious kingdom involving Shambhala. 'It is not something too strange. The two largest oceans of the East and the West, old times used to be two continents; now it has sunk to the bottom, but their people have gone into the underground kingdom. There are many people and many different peoples . '.

Until recently, this strange underground place was known as the underground city of Agharta - believed by many to be another name for Shambhala mysticism. Ossendowski describes this as a place of advanced technological wonders (including flying saucers), places of high growth, scientists and superman who possess incredible power. However, he did not think that Shambhala and Agharta were one.

Accordingly, the world of Agharta is vast, and Shambhala is considered the capital of Agharta, although it seems to have pure Western architecture. The gates leading into the underground world are thought to exist in the poles, or in caves and honeycomb tunnels around the world.

Some believe that Shambhala or Agharta can be considered a form of civilization, inherited from the ruins of Lemuria and Atlantis - the two continents that Ferdinand Ossendowski had spoken of in his book. Ossendowski also said that the people of this civilization hold great power, if provoked, they could let 'explode the entire surface of the human planet and turn it into a desert'. However, are these ancient myths and legends, or underground cities true or not? And the mystery and the prophets about Shambhala have never been resolved? The answer is, only time knows everything .
