[@ObamasTheBeast]

I found the hidden land of Shambhala by researching the Ngorpa Schools Kalachakra text. I also studied tibetan for five years at Paris University.

[@TRAVERART]

Hope you'll get to see more of the Tibetan way of life that we have captured in our latest video!

[@ObamasTheBeast]

@@TRAVERART There are many doors to enter Shambhala. I will lead you through the gates leading to Shambhala so that you will not get lost on the way. Shambhala is before us in full view of everyone. Only no one noticed it was there. It is the rediscovery of what exists, but no one has seen. It's like people who have a painting of Leonardo da Vinci in the living room, but they don't know it. So the country of the Kingdom of Shambhala bears the name "Sham" which is found in the country of Bilad al-Sham which corresponds to the "Levant". The Buddhist kingdom of the Mongol Khan Hulagu in the 12th century is the same country as "the Levant", and Hulagu corresponds in all respects to the King of Shambhala described in the Kalachakra of the Ngorpa school that I have studied. It was after five years of studying Tibetan at the University of Paris Dauphine (INALCO), that I sought out the kingdom of Shambhala. So, we find two characters with the name of Sham, which correspond perfectly to King Hulagu of the Mongols. As the Kalachakra is a tantric text, all tantric texts essentially contain a secret and evocative language that says things in an "allusive" and secret and hidden way. Thus we clearly see that these names of Sham, in fact designate in an indirect way Hulagu Khan as King of Shambhala. We thus see that these two names belong to characters living at the same time and in the same place exactly as Houlagou. (..really like "copy pasted"...) They are Shams al-Din and Shams-e Tabrizi. You're going to be absolutely amazed by this...because no one has ever revealed it. You are going to be flabbergasted reading the stories of their lives on Wikipedia. They are the messiahs of the Sufi sects and the secret and hidden lineages of imams and who are the future messiahs, of the Shiite sects and of the Sunnis. So the Tibetans writing on Shambhala in the Kalachakra, were only talking about a Buddhist king of Shambhala who was victorious over Islam, and was in fact the messiah of the Muslims... but that in a secret way through sects like the Sufis who are sympathetic and tolerant of other religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism and also the archaic shamanism of the ancient times of Mespotamia and Phoenicia. Shambhala's name actually corresponds to Baalshamin, the god Baal, since if you look closely, you will see that Baalshamin is Shambhala written backwards: like an anagram. It is thus here again this secret and allusive language of the Buddhist tantrics describing things in an "allusive" and indirect way. If anyone's interested in this, manifest that interest. I'll send more details. But show me that interest. Thanks. This bus is leaving the station. I'm not going to repeat this invite twice.

About the season it has been a mess for last decade, so now there is no rainy or dry season. Rainy season is unpredictable nowadays. Also the attire which is used to visiting temple is more appropriate called kamen not sarung(saroong). Sarung is similar with kamen but not the same. For balinese sarung is more casual attire not something we usually use when goes to temple.
