Shambhala_ The Lost Empire

Sleep Story Night

Show Notes

Shambhala is one of humanity's most fascinating myths: a hidden kingdom in the Himalayas, guarded by enlightened kings and described in the sacred texts of Tibetan Buddhism. But was it a physical place or a state of consciousness? In this video, we explore the origin of the legend in the Kalachakra Tantra, the prophecy of King Rudra Chakrin, the Western expeditions in search of the kingdom, and how Shambhala became the inspiration for Shangri-La. A journey through history, spirituality, and mystery that goes far beyond a "lost empire."
