I've always been fascinated by ancient myths, legends, religion that dates back to thousands of years, like Hinduism,the oldest religion dating back to more than 6,000 years and Buddhism which is more than 2,500 years old and this place called Shambala. Most images used on my video are sacred geometry.
For all friends,do enjoy!
Thank you for all of your support,views,comments and rates.
Very much appreciated.
Wishing Peace&Happiness&Goodhealth to each and everyone.
Best Regards,
Rita

Some facts about the Legend of Shambala.

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala (or Shambala) is a mystical kingdom hidden somewhere beyond the snow peaks of the Himalayas. It is mentioned in various ancient texts including the Kalachakra and the ancient texts of the Zhang Zhung culture which pre-dated Tibetan Buddhism in western Tibet. The Bon scriptures speak of a closely-related land called Olmolungring.
Shambhala in the Buddhist Kalachakra Teachings:-
Buddha prophecized that all who received the Kalachakra empowerment would take rebirth in its mandala of consciousness.

The Kingdom of Shambhala takes a central place in the Kalachakra teachings. Shambhala (Tib. bde 'byung) is a Sanskrit term meaning place of peace/tranquility/happiness. Shakyamuni Buddha is said to have taught the Kalachakra tantra on request of King Suchandra, also the teachings are said to be preserved there. Shambhala is said to be a society where all the inhabitants are enlightened, centered around a capital city called Kalapa. War and injustice are said to be unknown there, and it is said to be peopled by beautiful women and men dwelling in magnificent abodes.

The mythical land of Shangri-La has long held a spiritual appeal. But is it really mythical? Could such a place really exist?

Popularized by the book Lost Horizon, the myth of the city Shangri-La conjures images of a sort of earthly paradise, with no wars, sickness or disease. But there is far more to the story than meets the eye.

The question of what exactly Shangri-La is becomes the key to the mystery. For most, the image has been synonymous with the idea of the Holy Grail -- an ideal that one searches for all their life and never obtains unless one is proven worthy.

But for others it presents a tantalizing possibility of a truly hidden land that may be accessible if one can only find the way in. And many believe that way can be found in Tibet.

  • Because of a cold I found it difficult to breathe last night, but when I fell asleep eventually I dreamt of a place called Shambala. Thanks for your wonderful video and now I understand where this place is.

  • @Carismystic Did you really dream of Shambala?, wow that is amazing.

    It is also known as Shangrila, you can search on the web for more info.

    Thank you and you are most welcome.

  • Rita dear, I wish that I were skilled in other languages because if I were I could better describe the experience you have created here. I've aquired an interest in Buddhism, chiefly Tibetan but I know there are several disciplines. The music and images were as you say, truly other worldy and multidimentional. You seem to have hindsight or insight as with a sage or goddesslike trance in your material. Your work is masterful. If these dreams ever do materialize please extend me an invite.

  • @skypilot722 Thank you Joe for such a lovely comment. I, myself am entranced with this video and it's contents.

    Not to mention this place we call Shangrila. I won't forget to send you that invite.

    Ancient mysteries are mysteries that are so hard to explain.
