Kritik am Buch „The Shadow Of The Dalai Lama ... - Neues von Shi De

• In 1958 an American publisher released the book The Lightning and the Sun, by Savitri Devi
(“Hitler’s Priestess”), which presents Adolf Hitler as an avatar (an incarnation) of the sun god,
alongside Akhenaton and Genghis Khan. Devi does not mention a Nazi — Tibet connection, but
introduces the “avatar principle” into the myth building surrounding Hitler that is seized upon by
later authors so as to present the Führer as an incarnation from the kingdom of Agarthi/
Shambhala (see Miguel Serrano in this regard).
• In their best-seller The Dawn of Magic, Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwells (1962) first
claim that the Shambhala/Agarthi myth strongly influenced the founders of the national socialist
movement.
• Robert Charroux (Verratene Geheimnisse [“Betrayed Secrets”]) presumes that Lama priests
had gained influence over Hitler and worked on “ a plan for exercising control over the world
which was thoroughly the equal of that of the Germans “ (Charroux, 170, p. 258).
• The anti-fascist myth researcher Friedrich Doucet (Im Banne des Mythos [In the Thrall of
Myth], 1979) discusses “psycho-techniques of the monks and abbots in the Lama monasteries of
Tibet” with which leading national socialist figures were manipulated.
• Likewise, the anthroposophically oriented author, Trevor Ravenscroft (The Spear of
Destiny), 1974), assumes that Hitler cooperated with “Tibetan leaders” in Berlin.
• In the 80s, two books by the Chilean Miguel Serrano appeared (El Cordon Dorado [The
Golden Ribbon] and Adolf Hitler el último Avatara [Adolf Hitler: The Final Avatar]). Both texts
form the basis for “esoteric Hitlerism”. One of Serrano’s central themes is the relationship
between sexual magic and political power (especially national socialism). The Fourteenth Dalai
Lama, whom Serrano has met several times, is woven by the author into the creation of neofascist
myths around Hitler.
• According to Jan van Helsing (Geheimgesellschaften und ihre Macht ... [“Secret Societies
and their Power”], 1993), Tibetan monks worked together with Templar Knights who were
organized in the highest lodge of the “black sun” on the establishment of the Third Reich. The
secret order had (and still has) an important base underground in the Himalayas. The ruler of the
underground kingdom is said to be “Rigden Iyepo”, the king of the world, with his representative
on the surface, the Dalai Lama.
• In Die schwarze Sonne von Tashi Lhunpo [The Black Sun of Tashi Lhunpo] (1996),
McCloud reports on the survival of the national socialist Thule group in Tibet . They are the
followers of a “sun oracle” there.
• For Wilhelm Landig (Götzen gegen Thule ... [Idols against Thule], n.d.), Tibet is also “the
realm of the black sun! It is the meeting point of the esoteric circles of the Schutzstaffel [the SS],
whose knowledge Mr. Himmler also knew about but did not share.”
• In his novel (The Black Sun…, 1997), Peter Moon reiterates the decisive influence of Tibetan
Lamas on National Socialism and extends it with new images. He takes the side of the old Tibetan
Bon religion, and accuses the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism of religious oppression.
“Why”, Martin Brauen, a pro-Lamaist expert on Tibet, asks in light of this considerable and by no
means complete literature list, “does Tibet arouse the interest of the neo-fascists so much?” What
makes Tibet so attractive for them? What is so fascinating about the Shambhala myth that it draws
into its thrall both those who cultivate and those who combat it?” (Brauen, 2000, p. 93). He cannot
answer this question. But in order to be able invert the fact that national socialism had a occult
relationship to Tibetan Buddhism into its complete opposite, he foregrounds an anti-Lamaist faction
