living <strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a who leads the people as a religious and political head” (Brück and Lai, 1997, p.<br />

631). <strong>The</strong> authors thus believe, despite pages of feigned ecumenical Christianity, that a “totalistic<br />

paradigm” could be repeated in the future and recommend the god-king from Dhar<strong>am</strong>sala as an<br />

ex<strong>am</strong>ple. <strong>The</strong>y thus clearly and openly confirm the Buddhocratic vision of the Kalachakra Tantra and<br />

the Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala myth, of which they themselves have not breathed a word.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Kundun even seems to have succeeded in gaining access to the “immune” Judaism. After the<br />

<strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a’s visit to Jerusalem (in 1996), groups were formed in Israel and the USA in which Jewish<br />

and Buddhist ideas were supposed to be brought together. A film has been made about the fate of the<br />

Israeli writer Rodger K<strong>am</strong>enetz, who converted to Buddhism after he had visited the <strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a in<br />

Dhar<strong>am</strong>sala and then set about reinterpreting his own religious roots in Buddhist terms. <strong>The</strong> so-called<br />

Bu-Jews (Buddhist Jews) are the most recent product of the Kundun’s politics of tantric conquest.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are hardly likely to be aware of the interlinkage between Tantric Buddhism and occult fascism<br />

that we have described in detail.<br />

Isl<strong>am</strong> (<strong>The</strong> Mlecchas)<br />

In contrast Isl<strong>am</strong> is proving more difficult for His Holiness than the Jews and Christians: “I can barely<br />

recall having a serious theological discussion with Moh<strong>am</strong>medans”, he said at the start of the eighties<br />

(Levenson, 1992, p. 288). This is only all to readily understandable in light of the apocalyptic battle<br />

between the Mlecchas (followers of Moh<strong>am</strong>med) and the Buddhist armies of the mythical general,<br />

Rudra Chakrin, prophesied in the Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala myth. A foretaste of this radical confrontation, which<br />

according to the Kalachakra prophecy awaits us in the year 2327, was to be detected as the Moslem<br />

Taliban in Afghanistan declared in 1997 that they would destroy the 2000-year-old statues of Buddha<br />

in B<strong>am</strong>yan because Isl<strong>am</strong> prohibited human icons. This could, however, be prevented under pressure<br />

from the world public who reacted strongly to the announcement. (We would like to mention in<br />

passing that the likenesses of Buddha carved into the cliffs of B<strong>am</strong>yan, of which one figure is 60<br />

yards high, are to be found in a region from which, in the opinion of reliable investigators like Helmut<br />

Hoffmann and John Ronald Newman, the Kalachakra Tantra originally comes.)<br />

However, after being awarded the Nobel peace prize, the Kundun in his function as a world religious<br />

leader has revised his traditional reservation towards Isl<strong>am</strong>. He knows that it is far more publicityfriendly<br />

if he also displays the greatest tolerance in this case. In 1998, he thus encouraged Indian<br />

Muslims to play a leading role in the discourse between the world religions. In the s<strong>am</strong>e, conciliatory<br />

fr<strong>am</strong>e of mind, in an interview he earlier expressed the wish to visit Mecca one day (<strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a XIV,<br />

1996b, p. 152). [4]<br />

On the other hand however, His Holiness maintains very close contact with the Indian BJP (Bhatiya<br />

Janata Party) and the RSS (Rashtriya Svay<strong>am</strong> Sevak Sangh), two old-school conservative Hindu<br />

organizations (currently — in 1998 — members of the governing coalition) who proceed with all<br />

vigor against Isl<strong>am</strong>. [5]<br />

An honest renunciation of Tantric Buddhism’s hostility toward Isl<strong>am</strong> could only consist in the<br />

Kundun’s clear distantiation from all the passages from the Kalachakra tradition that concern this. To<br />

date, this has — as far as we know — never happened.<br />

In contrast, already today there are radical developments in the Buddhist c<strong>am</strong>p that are headed for a<br />

direct confrontation with Isl<strong>am</strong>. For ex<strong>am</strong>ple, the Western Buddhist “l<strong>am</strong>a”, Ole Nydhal (a Kagyupa),
