Süddeutsche Zeitung asks: “Exorcist ritual murders? Fanatics even in the most gentle of all religions?<br />

For many fans of Buddhism in the West their happy world falls a part.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung, 1997,<br />

No. 158, p. 10). It nonetheless remains unclear which metaphysical speculations were involved in the<br />

bloody rite of February 4.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ritual sacrifice of Tibet<br />

In dealing with the occupation of Tibet by the Chinese, the otherwise most “mystical” l<strong>am</strong>as prefer to<br />

argue in exclusively western and non-mythological terms. <strong>The</strong>re is talk of breaches of human rights,<br />

international law, and “cultural genocide”. If, however, we consider the subjugation of the Land of<br />

Snows and the exodus of the <strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a from a symbolic/tantric viewpoint, then we reach<br />

completely different conclusions.<br />

Primarily, as we have extensively demonstrated, a politically oriented tantra master (especially if he<br />

practices the Kalachakra Tantra as does the <strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a) is not at all interested in strengthening and<br />

maintaining an established and orderly state. Such a conservative position is valid only for as long as<br />

it does not stand in the way of the final goal, the conquest of the world by a Buddhocracy. This<br />

imperial path to world control is paved with sacrifices: the sacrifice of the karma mudra (the wisdom<br />

consort), the sacrifice of the pupil’s individual personality, the symbolic sacrifice of worldly kingship,<br />

etc.<br />

Just as the guru is able to evoke mental states in his sadhaka (pupil) which lead to the fragmentation<br />

of the latter’s psyche so that he can be reborn on a higher spiritual plane, so too he applies such<br />

deliberately initiated practices of dismemberment to the state and society as well, in order for these to<br />

re-emerge on a higher level. Just as the tantra master dissolves the structures of his human body, he<br />

can likewise bring down the established structures of a social community. <strong>The</strong>n the Buddhist/tantric<br />

idea of the state has an essentially symbolic nature and is fund<strong>am</strong>entally no different to the procedures<br />

which the yogi performs within his energy body and through his ritual practices.<br />

From the viewpoint of the Kalachakra Tantra, all the important events in Tibetan history point<br />

eschatologically to the control of the universe by a Chakravartin (world ruler). <strong>The</strong> precondition for<br />

this is the destruction of the old social order and the construction of a new society along the guidelines<br />

laid down in the Dharma (the teaching). Following such a logic, and in accordance with the tantric<br />

“law of inversion”, the destruction of a national Tibet could become the requirement for a higher<br />

transnational Buddhocratic order.<br />

Have — we must now ask ourselves — the Tibetan people been sacrificed so that their life energies<br />

may be freed for the worldwide spread of L<strong>am</strong>aism? As fantastic and cynical as such a mythical<br />

interpretation of history may sound, it is surreptitiously widely distributed in the occult circles of<br />

Tantric Buddhism. Proud reference is made to the comparison with Christianity here: just as Jesus<br />

Christ was sacrificed to save the world, so too the Tibet of old was destroyed so that the Dharma<br />

could spread around the globe.<br />

In an insider document which was sent to the Tibetologist Donald S. Lopez, Jr. in 1993, it says of the<br />

Chinese destruction of Tibetan culture: “From an esoteric viewpoint, Tibet has passed through the<br />

burning ground of purification on a national level. What is the 'burning ground'? When a developing<br />

entity, be it a person or a nation (the dyn<strong>am</strong>ic is the s<strong>am</strong>e), reaches a certain level of spiritual<br />

development, a time comes for the lower habits, old patterns, illusions and crystallized beliefs to be
