Tibetan Prophecy: One Decade Left


The singular work entitled The Light That Makes Things Clear: A Prophecy of Things to Come, was revealed by the late 'Jam-byangs mKhyen-brtse Chos-kyi bLo-gros (1896-1959), widely known and celebrated as the "Master of Masters." It was first translated into English in 1988, by Karma gSungrab rGya-mtsho, with the admonition that it be freely reproduced. We have elected to publish this work as received, with only slight editorial revision, as the translator prepared his version with the assistance of the late Khyentse Rinpoche's learned students, and other qualified commentators. Our revisions cover matters of English expression; not content, which is unchanged, and basic meaning is left intact.

This work takes the form of a dialogue involving Shakyamuni Buddha, Ananda, Avalokitesvara, and Maitreya concerning events commencing 2026, and lasting through 2032.

-o-0-o-

Homage to the Three Jewels. The Victorious One (Shakyamuni Buddha) once related this teaching applicable to a time when the evil period would arise. It is like a path because all sentient beings are connected to it. 

When the Victorious One was sitting under the bodhi tree and thinking of all sentient beings of the world, he saw that at the end of five - hundred years, an evil age would begin. As to the deeds and thoughts of all these beings, those with great merit would come into contact with this teaching while those with little merit would not. The pain from conflicting emotions would be great indeed. 

Because it seemed that humans living on the surface of the earth would be as if cut to pieces with swords due to this, the venerable Ananda pleaded with the Victorious One:

"Victorious One, because you consider things with great compassion, spare humankind this torment." 

And the Victorious One replied to the venerable Ananda: "I have this to say about it. While I was residing in the great expanse of space, I was thinking of and gazing on the beings of the world. So, listen! There is a teaching useful during the time when the - dark age arises. If one writes of it, propagates it, and practices the "Great Responsiveness Meditation" and recitation, impurities and obscurations will be quickly purified. If one sincerely makes offerings to this spiritual text with flowers and incense, all sentient beings will benefit. By propagating this text and writing about it, one will obtain a good existence throughout all of one's lives."

Then, near the base of a tree, there was a great lake. On its shores sat the Greatly Responsive One (Avalokitesvara) (in the form) he appears with and for others. While considering all beings in his responsiveness and compassion, he began to shed copious tears. Then the Victorious One said:

"Listen carefully, oh Greatly Responsive One! It is not necessary to shed tears, so heed my words well. During the month of the Tiger in the new year, I intend to go to many places. At that time during the evil age all sentient beings will be freed from the ocean of existence's miseries. All evil conduct will be abandoned and I will lead sentient beings away from evil states (they have fallen into). At that time, this spiritual text will be well known. Because of this text and by making it known, all sickness will end. If written about by one person, it will benefit one city. If proclaimed by one city, it will benefit all states. The merit of humankind will be increased and secondary evil influences averted. One will be free of hellish torments, and it will be of benefit for both this life and the next one. This path is desirable for all sentient beings of the six classes. For example, it is like taking a boat across a river or the ocean. This is truly a most beneficial text until Maitreya arrives in the world of humans. By writing of this teaching and spreading it to other areas, in one lifetime, in one embodiment, one's merit will increase limitlessly. The bloody ocean of life as a (vicious) circle will dry up.

First, because of the ten impure practices, sentient beings will come under the power of conflicting emotions. Oh, pity on these sentient beings! After this, an area (valley) in the human realm will be (as if) filled with blood. Three, when it comes to reaping your own merits you will be powerless to do so. Four, human suffering will become very great. Five, people won't be able to perceive the "path." Six, cities will become filled with carnivorous animals. Seven, the residences of politicians will become deserted. Eight, individuals will be unable to cope with one another. Nine, hungry ghosts will be seen wandering about the cities.

Things will be like this as a result of ten impure practices. One will not compliment or praise another person; there will only be praise of oneself and putting down others. There will basically be four social groups: the politicians, the rich, common people, and the well-educated. If all of these peoples have confidence in this text and devotion toward it, a good time period will result. 

"But," the Victorious One said, "If people have an irrational trust in it, they will follow one another and fall straight into the most intolerable of hells. The earth and heavens will be filled with the cries of those who have not heard this teaching. A time of epidemics will result. But as soon as one hears this spiritual message and then writes it down and distributes it, these epidemics will be brought under control. All famine that might exist will be pacified and people will achieve a good existence.

Furthermore, there are seven miseries that humans might suffer. First there is the misery like that of a denizen in hell. Second, the misery of hunger and thirst for a hungry ghost. Third, the misery of disputes and warfare as an anti-god might experience. Fourth, the frustration resulting from having no leisure, and constant hunger and want. Fifth, the misery of having erroneous views. Sixth, the misery of having a long life like a god, and seventh, the misery in potential existence when in the after-death state. This text is of benefit for these (situations), for if one trusts in it, one will achieve success in all that one may strive for. All diseases will be destroyed, and there will be a return to good times. If one is to ask how these will come about [it is like this]:

Out of deep space, in the Fire-Male-Horse year (2026), a large meteor will strike down on the shores of a large body of water. This spiritual text will appear when the meteor cracks open. Having appeared, it is very important, when teaching this document, that there are no secret or hidden meanings. There is but one, no secondary meaning. It has been put together for the benefit of all sentient beings. May all the torments of existence end!

After 500 years will be a time when the teachings of the Spiritually Awakened One will be on the decline and monks' ethics and general conduct will become corrupted. When evil thoughts will occupy the mind, and food supplies will be contaminated. A time when the ten unwholesome deeds will be practiced and practitioners of advanced spiritual techniques will recite only evil mantras, and the five poisons will overwhelm one's perceptions. It will be a time when body and speech acts will be perverted; teaching of spiritual values will deteriorate. A time when feathers will grow on mountains (sic!), and a person will travel about in wooden and metal vehicles. All of one's actions will merely contribute to evil happenings, a time of fearfulness when evil will manifest most definitely. This text will reverse the contributory evil causes of this time. By so much as seeing it, writing of it, proclaiming it, there is no doubt that these evil times will end. It is sufficient to see what is true and what is not true. And to say what one knows to be the truth. In those people who say it is untrue, from the tops of their heads to the bottom of their feet, signs that they will be seized by sickness will appear."

After the Victorious One had spoken these words, Avalokitesvara, Maitreya, Ananda, gods, anti-gods, humans, and spirits who live on odors, all rejoiced and offered great praise of his words. The Victorious One touched his right hand, marked with certain signs and characteristics, to the earth, and (by this act) conquered the dark forces of spiritual death, along with their retinue. I experienced an unbelievable happiness and joy and decided to (always) engage myself with this discriminative appreciation that goes beyond itself, that tames (beings) by pacifying all sickness and evil. Then the Spiritually Awakened One, the Victorious One, after remaining in meditative enstasis, uttered this summary of his discourses, as part of the teachings (as a whole). Again, Ananda asked of theVictorious One:

"Victorious One, since you have delivered this teaching, turn around the obstacles and evil conditions within existence. In the Earth-Male-Monkey year (2028) an epidemic will occur and its impact will be very profound. If all sentient beings do not think that this is true and have no confidence in this letter and are not able to propagate it, then the dark evil forces of spiritual death will be satisfied. If there is confidence and they do publish this, then great well-being will arise. Great benefit will come from this spiritual text. That's it! Great! That's for sure! May you always teach it! May most excellent good and wholesomeness arise! May capabilities and merits always increase! This has been taught by all of the Spiritually Awakened Ones. You yourself are energetic to this truth, of benefit to beings. At the end of a future time, the qualities of this will be beyond imagination. For the person who is confident in this, all desires will be fulfilled. Evil conditions and obstacles will be diverted. The person who is confident in the teachings of a spiritually awakened person should make offerings of flowers and incense."

Then Maitreya looked back from the expanse of space. He saw blood coming from the eyes of humans so he went to the Victorious One and asked:

"Victorious One, I pray that you give a teaching of great sustaining power as to what is to come, gathering the meaning in (only) a few words."

The Victorious One replied: "Very well, Maitreya. Listen to what I say. I choose this for the benefit of all sentient beings as well as Brahma, Indra, and so on. I will convey my words and their meaning for the sake of beings. It is certainly very positive to be energetically devoted to this. In the autumn of the Fire-Female-Horse year (2026), and in the year of the Earth-Male-Monkey (2028), all of those evil persons who have no confidence in this teaching will die. But, if one writes of it and propagates it, then one will live for a long time, without sickness, and merit will become very great. All the harmful forces of this evil time will quickly gather in the cities. They will run and hide themselves so that humans will not be able to see where they are. At that time, the power of this spiritual text will scatter those noxious demons and they will run away. So it is important to spread this text to all areas. One should not entertain any doubts and think that it is not true. The Spiritually Awakened One, incomparable teacher of gods and men, is the tamer of beings, sensitive to the world, gone into well-being, head of the spiritually aware 'family.'

Those persons who do not have any confidence in this teaching will experience a great earthquake in the year of the Fire-Horse (2026). When the evil times come in the Fire-Female-Sheep year (2027), there will be death due to overcrowding. Some will die on the road; some from heart (disease). In the year of the Earth-Male-Monkey (2028), there will be terrible floods. In the summer, death will come from famine-induced epidemics. At that time, demons will be all over the place. If one writes of and propagates this text, there will be no harm from obstructions or demons.

In the Earth-Female-Bird year (2029), there will be no harm. Nonetheless, it will be very important to guard one's discipline and not eat red meat. In the Iron-Male-Dog year (2030), all cities and surrounding areas will be filled with carnivorous animals such as tigers, bears, wild dogs, wolves, and the like. At that time it will be very important to write of and propagate this text as a method for liberating humans. In the Iron-Female-Pig year (2031), all sentient beings will lose self- control, and will be like paper blown about in the wind, or as if carried off in a flood. Then, those who lack belief in this text will die."

Then the Victorious One said to the Greatly Responsive One: "During the year of the Mouse (2032-?), a sound with spiritual qualities will be heard coming out of the depths of space. And, like the light of the sun and moon, because of the strength in the sustaining power of the Spiritually Awakened One, if one writes of and propagates this text which illuminates all of the four directions and eight points in between, then it will be of benefit until Maitreya comes. If one writes of and propagates this, one will obtain merit like a mountain (in size). In the palace at Potala, a transformative form of the Spiritually Awakened One's communication dwells, surrounded by a retinue of those in whom pure and total mind has taken over. All sentient beings, above and below, in all the ten directions, are placed in well-being. This well-being is intensified for the sake of all sentient beings on account of the compassionate intentions of the Greatly Responsive One for all humans. By thinking that this is untrue, or if one entertains doubts, a period of plagues will become widespread in the middle of summer. People will die from dawn to dusk. At that time, calculating from when the evil period of time increases, all the forest (ecosystems) will collapse. All the rocky mountains will crumble at their bases. One will not be able to bear the leveling (process) of the earth's (mountains). For every ten persons, only one will be left. If one thinks that this is not so, it is the word of the Victorious One. Oh, pity sentient beings!

'Jam-byangs mKhyen-brtse Chos-kyi bLo-gros (1896-1959)

In the Fire-Female-Sheep year (2027), and in the Earth-Male-Monkey year (2028), the evil "five hundred time" will emerge. This disruption will come from every direction and the - eight subdivisions as well. People will be defiled by quarrels and restlessness. This spiritual text will liberate one from these omens of the evil time merely if one has confidence in it, sees, writes about it, propagates it. Agitation will thereby be pacified. If one does this, limitless good will come about. May beings be free of all terror and fear! This spiritual work which has one, no secondary meaning, has been composed for the benefit of all sentient beings. This spiritual text will spread fully to all realms and all humans will be happy. May virtuous sentient beings be free of misery! If one is not energetic in making the text an object of sustained attention for five or six months, then a period of sickness and diseases will come. Some will die from fever; some from chills; some from stomach ailments; some from madness; some from skin diseases. Some from heart disease, others from liver disease. There is a remedy for these harms. When impermanence (begins to show its mark) in the body, if men and women tie this [mantra], which will protect them, to their bodies, this protecting mantra will free them from all plagues and the harms of demons, water spirits, and gods. [It is:]

E-ma-ho pen-no pen-no so-ha!

It should be worn on the right side of the body for a man and on the left for a woman.



If one does this, one will be freed from these diseases and plagues, and will have a good life. If one writes about, propagates and is confident in it, there is no doubt that one will be liberated from the bloody ocean of life's miseries. Oh, pity for all humans, everywhere! May all torments that come with an untimely death be completely pacified. May there be good - times, as before! May one obtain limitless merit! For all those beings who have no confidence in the spiritual text, as before, there will be no chance for them to believe, and so diseases will spring up everywhere in the cities. Even if there is nutritious food, one will not, at that time, be able to eat it."

Then the Greatly Responsive One, the Noble Avalokitesvara, in order to produce compassion in the hearts of sentient beings, spoke this portion of the teaching:

"I pray, Victorious One, that you empower this text. I pray that you empower it with your consecration."

Again, the Victorious One said:

"If one performs religious service to this text with devotion and confidence, then the whole evil time will stop. It would be beneficial for all disease and illness. May all humans who dwell on the surface of the earth obtain limitless merit. When they are liberated from all the unhappiness, epidemics, sickness, and unrest which are signs of the evil age, may they come to experience good times as before. On account of the positive nature in making a wish such as this, the qualities of the benefit if a person should do this, especially during the month of the Rabbit and of the Horse, is beyond imagining. If people come to write of and propagate this, they will come to possess a long life, free of illness, and will find happiness and well- being. Even if they write of one part of this, all noxious influences of the evil age will be pacified in their own time. What has occurred before will increase once again in the year of the Dragon. It will show itself, but will be unable to expand out into the realms of the world because of the evil time's arising. After that, in the Fire-Male Horse year (2026), this text will increase. 

This work is a technique for diverting the evil time. If one is not able to spread (its ideas) to all countries, ripening crops will be destroyed by three frosts, or hail. Secondly, the specter of famine will arise. And when disease with no apparent etiology occurs, there will be much suffering and unhappiness. But, if one writes of and propagates this, there is no doubt that one will be liberated from all this misery. Until Lord Maitreya arrives in this world, this text is the refuge for sentient beings. If one is confident and devoted to it, all obstacles and obscurations will be cleansed, and one will be purified. May there be most excellent good! May the jewels of necessity and wishing come into being! May all countries have good fortune! May the whole earth be made pleasing! When unrest, sickness, famine in all countries is pacified, may there be a most excellent rain for the crops, and may one spontaneously obtain one's wishes! May the glorious wealth of nations increase widely. May the turning of the wheel of spiritual teachings be steadfast, always!"

After the Victorious One had spoken, all the gods, Avalokitesvara, Maitreya, Ananda, anti- gods, humans, and the world including those who live on scents, rejoiced and praised the speech very much.

This completes the Lamp That Makes Things Clear, the Prophecy of Things to Come.

What is the Tibetan title and where can I find the text in Tibetan. Thank you

Could you kindly advise the book/source where this was published first by Karma Gyatso in 1988? Thank you so much

terma beyond comprehension thank you to enlightened lineage lama

I assume from the context, that the "Great Responsiveness Meditation" refers to the Greatly Responsive One i.e., Chenrezig. If that is so, do you know if this refers to Chenrezig practice in general or is it a specific practice? If it is a specific practice, do you know if it exists as an available text?

From www.vajracakra.com, there is a link to the Tibetan:

Tibetan name of the text is "ma 'ongs lung bstan gsal byed sgron me zhes bya ba bzhugs so", so the English translation of the title should rather be a "Lamp that clarifies the future" you can find it on TBRC in Volume 10 of Khyentse Lodro's sungbum (just search for the title ma 'ongs lung bstan...").

Could you please send us the exact link? TBRC is hard to navigate for non tibetan speakers. Please send us the exact link from the TBRC website so we can read this properly. Thank you very much!

In this sutra the part that states

" When impermanence (begins to show its mark) in the body, if men and women tie this [mantra], which will protect them, to their bodies, this protecting mantra will free them from all plagues and the harms of demons, water spirits, and gods. [It is:]
E-ma-ho pen-no pen-no so-ha!
It should be worn on the right side of the body for a man and on the left for a woman."

Please, how is this to be tied to the body ?

Also, please, can the full text of this be published here ?
The picture clearly shows there is additional text around the mantra.
So far as I know you copy the entire text, usually in Tibetan, and shrink it small enough to be carried in a amulet.

So, again, please, can the full text be added to this sutra ?

Thank you !
Tashi delek !

I agree. This is not words of Gautama for sure. Perhaps it is an expedient means of later teacher.

Anonymous said...

Has this been published somewhere in English, such as in a book or journal? Are there plans to publish this in a journal such as Tricycle, or elsewhere? And is the practice referred to in the text a practice to come in 2026 or a practice we already have today?

Editor said...

Would-be "journals" such as Tricycle and so forth are consumerist magazines designed to sell lifestyle and products, chiefly the books of a small stable of contract authors. They are not the forum for serious discussion. They are a symptom of the illness of a market-based society: the very personification of spiritual materialism.

Anonymous said...

Dear Editor, thank you for responding to my question. I meant no offense in asking about journals. I would largely agree with you that the mainstream magazines are mostly about a very superficial level of understanding, that they tend to cater to certain "celebrities" and authors, and are not a forum for serious discussion. What I was really wondering was is this prophecy something to be widely shared (it sounds like it is), and since it is meant to be published and shared, what is a good way to do that so that many people read it and hear of it? A consumerist magazine is a manifestation of a consumerist society, and at the same time, reaches thousands of readers. But on the other hand, maybe some other way of communicating this would be better, so as not to open the discussion in an inappropriate place. I've already told a couple of my practitioner friends about this. They hadn't heard of it. I could share the link to your site on other blog sites. Or simply talk to my fellow sangha about it.

My other question is about the text mentioned in the prophecy. Again, I apologize for being dense, but it seems this is a text to appear in 2026? There are many Avalokiteshvara practices. I think some other person has asked this question as well. thank you for your consideration.

Editor said...

For those who requested the Tibetan, we published the Tibetan on our Facebook page. See link, above, at the end of the article. As to your questions concerning the practice mentioned in the prophecy, this is somewhat difficult to discern. The language in prophetic texts is unlike the language elsewhere: it can be vague, or misleading. The "practice" may refer to the text itself, inclusively, or it may refer to some specific "other" text. Depends on your understanding of the underlying tensions.

I asked my parents and others about this text, they are saying that it was published long time ago and since these years comes around every sixty years, it is difficult to say if its 2026 or 1960s. Can you kindly inquire more on the date with Rinpoches and Khenpos.

David Lutz said...

Can the Editor provide any clarity regarding the origin and history of the Tibetan text found on your Facebook page? This text has some major differences from what is found in vol 10 of W1KG12986. There does not seem to be a third version to be found anywhere at TBRC so there is no authority for taking either version as the most correct - although the Facebook version does have a lot of just plain typos and some bad punctuation. Any clarity here would be appreciated.

Editor said...

That text is apparently the latest, popular edition, obtained by the translator in Derge, Tibet, in 1999. All the Tibetan books in the world are not at TBRC: there are numerous editions of this and that floating around, inclusive of small-run re-prints for merit, etc., etc.. Since you are at pains to demonstrate the horsepower, why don't you get that bike of yours out on the road, and do a little research down this line yourself, come back, and share with us what you found? How many editions can you find? What about the ones done in Sikkhim?

So... This makes mention (a lot) that people should "propagate this teaching", but pretty much the only teaching here is that which tells us to,propagate it. Seems kind of circular...and without much content besides 'believe in this and propagate it', without saying what 'this' is. If the teaching here is just that everything's going to hell in ten years, where is the teaching in that? Sounds more like a prophecy than a teaching, and how can propagating a prophecy prevent the prophecized..? What am I missing?

Anonymous said...

This text is in the style of the Saddharma Pundarika, the Suvarnaprabhasottama and various others that arise in the Mahayana/Vajrayana period. Also in the style of teachings delivered bu the Budhha on Grihadkuta (Vulture Peak) in Rajgtiha (Rajgir). While they may seem apocryphal to some who are only aquainted with the most common of the Buddhist Suttas this is merely due to lack of knowledge of the entire corpus of the Buddhas Teachings. For every text in the later periods we can find their origins if not their equivalents in the early Pali literature.

Lucky to have a mala said...

"To be taken in context with oral commentary by the author's living students who actually discussed the text with him, prior to his death, as distinct from those who did not." From Facebook...
So this is an incomplete transmission. I would suggest that one remains confident in the transmission we have already received from our teachers as both authentic and useful in overcoming the obstacles of samsaric existence and we do not fall into doubt about their usefulness. If you have read this page, you have obtained a precious human life, have received authentic teachings, have confidence in the teachings and put them into practice. Our deaths are not the exception, life is the exception. We don't know whether we will even live to 2026. Follow the direction of the teachers we are lucky enough to have as the hour of death is uncertain. Trust in the 4 Basic Thoughts and the Refuge and have faith in generating the 2 accumulations of merit and wisdom.

The Fire-Male-Horse year most probably is 1966, not 2026, because Mao launched the Cultural Revolution just in August of that year.

Unknown said...

My impression was that the practice refers to practising Loving Kindness

Unknown said...

I got two impressions: one that the practice mentioned there simply refers to practising Compassion. Avalokitesvara is connected to Compassion, no? And He is called "Greatly Responsive One". And the practice is called "Great Responsiveness Meditation".

The other guess is that the paragraph about practising "Great Responsiveness Meditation" was referring to a Chenrezig Sadhana. This makes sense because I remember that one terma of an Avalokitesvara Sadhana (by Adzam Drukpa) contained predictions about how it will greatly benefit innumerable sentient beings during degenerate times.

If you go deep in to the Vairochana-mandala revealed by Guru Rinpoche in the secound floor of Samye, The construction of Samye, Square of Nine JW Gann and Pyramid constallations of Egypt, you see the same angle formations. From the same secound floor of Samye, Barche Lamsel was also revealed by Guru Rinpoche. Trusting Barche Lamsel, appearing the same place as the mandala, you will be able to help the world in a very profound way by effortly praying, since it is strong and has appeared in the same place as the Vairochana-mandala. When we come in to 2017, top around 28 april, the spiral starts shifting from highest point to low until 2026-28. The 2017 top resonates with the 1929 energy. The severe economical panic-collapse will come around 18th of January 2022, entering Taurus, resonating with the 1907 extreme crisis and 1637 tulip crisis. The spiraling will go lower to dangerous territory to the lower points in 2026-27-28. If you are interested, look closer at the moonn correlations, specially in squares, occulations and oppositions to Uranuschange, Saturnpullback, Jupiterforce, Venustrust, Neptunoilturmoil and Marsquerrels. We will not be in positive sentimental territory before 2031, similar energy as 2011 and forward until now. I will try to make a Excel-calendar, if anyone with astrological experience wants to help, please tell me on PM! Later gold and silver prices will go sky-high, Sought Europe will be hungry, revolutions and anger in the streets. I would not like to be in the US, Turkey or Czech rep, as I remember from my timetravel. People on the top knows this is evolving, but the only warning has shortly been mentioned by Angela to keep food for at least 10 days. I would prefer they said 10 months. Once the US debt grows (from 19.8T) to 24T, it will be similar ratio as Greece. Japan debt is dangerous. Banks have humongous exposure in derivate market. Financials as DB have almost collapsed even we are "not" in a crisis! We have now a scenario without brakes to help the economy in the next fall by lowering interestrated. Low interest rates are eating up pentionfunds. The world has already printed so much money and will surely continue in a big scale. Foodprices will rise, but no wages. Water element too not stable, we all know its hot and the soil is dry. People should understand the mechanics of what is about to happend. It is still some time, but please, start with your self, your absolutey closest. I hope we Dharma-brothers and sisters take over the world :) The text actually say "dont keep this information secret". "Help people". "Prepare". But dont spread panic, just common sence, so people understand. By a coinsidence I have actually been with Chokyi Lodros and Guru Rinpoches relics several times.. I will not be so secretful, just search "Moons North Node entering Aquarius Economical cycle" and you will see. Some people say this prophecy related to chinese astrology could be for 1966, 2026, 2086. In correlation with the North Node, the period is most lilely to be 2026, because 2026 is at the M-NN low in Aquarius.

Hello, as a practicing Vajrayana student, as an astrologer and, too, as a student of the Khyentse lineage teachings, I believe the specific date references to be speculative, yet you have not identified this in your work. Nor have you identified that this is one of Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro's terma.
The comment above about the possibilities being 1966, 2026, 2086, should continue with adding in 60-years until the events predicted actually occur, shouldn't it?
As an astrologer, I know for certain predictions are the hardest part of my profession; the same is even truer for a terton's terma.
Times change and the influences dictating this revelation may have already passed or might be a long time into the future.
Comparing the descriptions to those related to the time before the 25th Shambhalan king will come to tame and conquer the forces of evil then in the world, these predictions of this successor of the great Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo seem to be more in keeping with those predictions. In which case, the events would have to be placed about two-to-three hundred years from now, not in 2026.
Thus, I highly recommend you add a comment clarifying that 1) this is a terma revelation, 2) that the times in parens are speculative and could be any number of sixty-year cycles ahead, and 3) that the predictions seem to match those related to the coming of the 25th King of Shambhala, which is about 400-500 years from now.

My understanding from reading this is that it's precious advice pertaining to the degenerate times. Dates of course are not always literal to the western calendar but it does not diminish the importance of being warned about what lies ahead. The Chalachakra tantras speak of a very similar future. It seems the blessing in this teaching is being aware of the times to come, practicing as you would normally and most importantly to wear this mantra on your right side if male and left side if female. It states it has the blessing to protect the wearer if they take this seriously and earnestly. That is why this teaching is being offered to sentient beings.

Why would the "Master of Masters" (1896-1959) reveal a prophecy which is irrelevant to our times?

Following the instructions is truly easy.

It is clear that belief is paramount.

As I sit in this now moment, dated western calendar November 2021, as you see a huge wave of change has risen around the world. Heightening our senses and awareness of what can arise in our future from choices from this day. This is highly stimulating. Makes me wonder how those who have written about this prophecy now feel about what they have said. To me, the synchronization and knowledge of spirals, Mandela, financial collapse, famine, dis-ease and the power of prayer 🙏🏼 and meditation is all showing itself all around. I have screenshots of the mantra, and now wonder if tattooing it on my body and or others is how we keep it with us? So many blessings to you and yours. -GoldenFeather——)}>>>~
