Hi,

I'm Geir Smith. A thirty-seven year Buddhist, I live in France. I studied Tibetan language and culture at Paris University and my later research led me to studies and research upon the Kalachakra.

I discovered a version of it's reality that none other propound. It is that the Kalachakra hides a reality which can be called Shambala's Kingdom which is a hidden historical event. This event is the world's most horrendous killing, carried out in practically organized manner by not only Buddhists but in conjunction with official, high level Buddhist Tibetan clergy. This is thus a watershed in Buddhist history in that it was hidden for five hundred years and also in that the event itself was a departure from earlier belief and habit that Buddhism never involved in criminal activity such as the other religions.

This requires some explaining. First the secrecy of how Kalachakra was portrayed, so as to make it illustrate these events without actually mentionning them. Secondly, what were these real events in fact.

To begin with, the main author of the evolving form of the Kalachakra literature was Buton Rinchen Drub. Traditional dates for Kalachakra run up into dates that would announce Shambala's appearing in four hundred years from now. However modern scholarship is rapidly changing this view and the very sources of both datation and the lineages are largely now discounted (see the modern historical doubts about the whole Kalachakra chronology).

Indeed, based upon the uncertainty of any dates relative to the time of coming of the Kingdom of Shambhala many present-time Buddhists believe both that the fall of old Tibet and the on-going ecological disaster are the signs of present-day coming of this prophetical event. The same uncertainty is further accentuated by the Kalachakra Tantra's announcing of Shambala's Kingdom, which is described as being the unveiling of the unknown. The main question that is thus posed by the Kalachakra's Shambhala uncertainty is as to who wrote the version that has come down to us and thus certainly is behind the creating of the secrecy in the lineages of it and other works of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. Indeed, Tibet's most important volume of work, including Tantra is due to Buton Rinchen Drub, who was a great scholar and compiled and catalogued among other the Tibetan Buddhist canon (the Kangyur and Tengyur). Changes, additions or manipulations to the Kalachakra would thus have begun mainly with him.
