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

Miguel Serrano and the XIV. Dalai Lama in Santiago de Chile (1992)
As far as the “enchanting” Tibetan temple bitch of “honey yellow color” which was given him by the
Kundun is concerned, this creature had a most special significance for the Chilean. The lamas, the
author says, referred to the petite race as the “lion of the back door of the Temple”. Serrano’s “back
door lion” was called Dolma, “the name of a Tibetan goddess; in truth the shakti” (Serrano, n.d., p.
189). Dolma is the Tibetan name for the goddess Tara. As abstruse as it may sound, after some time
the Chilean recognized in the Dolma given him by the Kundun the reincarnation of a woman whom
he once loved as a “mystic partner” and who (in accordance with the laws of the “tantric female
sacrifice”) had had to die (Serrano, n.d., p. 189). As Dolma the bitch one day passed away in his arms
— Serrano had flown from Spain to Vienna just to accompany her into eternity — he recalled an
event of mythological dimensions from the 16th century. As if he were in a trance he suddenly felt
that it was not the Tibetan Dolma but rather the dying sister of the last Aztec emperor Montezuma,
Papán by name, whom he held in his arms. Papán — Serrano claimed — originally a high priestess
from the north ("Hyperborea”), had in Mexico prophesied- according to legend — the return of the
white gods to America. In her final hour, Dolma (the bitch) radiated out the energy of the Aztec
princess who had to suffer a ritual sacrificial death.
Thanks to this vision Serrano could once more experience the fascination which habitually flooded
through him at the embrace of dying women, even if one of them had this time been incarnated in a
bitch. In NOS, a dying dog (the fate of Dolma probably lies behind this) spoke to him like a tantric
lover with a human voice: “You don't need me outside anymore. I will howl inside you, like my
brother the wolf” (Serrano, 1984, p. 21).
Such central “hermetic” experiences naturally tied the Chilean to the Kundun and his tantric world
view profoundly and so it is also not surprising that Serrano linked “esoteric Hitlerism” and the fate of
Germany to the Dalai Lama directly: His “skill”, the author says of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, is
“closely linked to that of Hitler’s Germany ... on account of yet undiscovered connections. A few
years after Germany, Tibet also fell” (Serrano, 1987, p. 366).
