oracle).
7. The tantric state is pursuing an aggressive policy of war and conquest (the
Shambhalization of the world).
8. The Shambhala myth contains an apocalyptic vision borne by a “fascistoid” warrior
ethos, in which the faithful (the Buddhists) brutally annihilate all non-believers (above all
the Moslems).
9. Tantric Buddhism manipulates the western masses with falsified images of peace,
ecology, democracy, a pro-woman orientation, social justice, and compassion.
In this connection we would like to (in warning) mention once more the significant influence that both
Buddhist Tantrism in general and the Kalachakra Tantra and Shambhala myth in particular have had
over fascism and German national socialism, and continue to exert. In chapter 12 we reported on
Heinrich Himmler’s occult interest in Tibet, about the former SS member Heinrich Harrer, the tutor of
the young Dalai Lama, and about the significance of Vajrayana for the fascist ideology of Mussolini’s
confidante, Julius Evola. But at the center of this chapter stood a detailed analysis of Esoteric
Hitlerism, the world view of the Chilean diplomat and author Miguel Serrano who closely follows
Buddhist Tantrism and combines it with occult doctrines of the Nazis. Most clearly of all, Serrano
shows what awaits humanity if the Kalachakra Tantra were to gain control over the world: a racist
autocracy of androgynous warriors who celebrate real female sacrifices as their supreme mystery and
worship Hitler’s SS as their historical role-model. In warning, we would indicate that it is not a
coincidence that His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama has maintained contact with these fanatic
worshippers of the SS and the German “Führer” since his flight from Tibet (in 1959), but rather
because his tantric tradition corresponds with many of their ideological and visionary aspects.
Where Serrano’s Shambhala visions have up until now remained speculations, they have taken on a
horrifying reality in the figure of the Japanese sect leader, Shoko Asahara. The world held its breath
in the case of Asahara as he ordered the carrying out of a gas attack on Tokyo’s overfilled
underground railway system in 1995 in which there were numerous injuries and several people died.
It was the first militarily planned attempted murder by a religious group from an industrialized
country which was directed outwardly (i.e. not against its own membership). The immense danger of
such insidious attacks, against which the masses are completely unprotected, is obvious. For all the
depth of feeling which the act stirred up among the international public, no-one has until now made
the effort of investigating the ideological and religious bases and motives which led Asahara to
commit his crime. Here too, the ways lead to Tibetan Buddhism, especially the Shambhala myth of
the Kalachakra Tantra. Asahara saw himself as an incarnation of the Rudra Chakrin, the raging
wheel turner, who destroys one half of the world in order to (literally) rescue the other half through
his Shambhalization plan. Not only was did he practice Vajrayana, he was also a “good friend” of the
Dalai Lama, whom he met five times in person.
The atavistic pattern of Tibetan Buddhism
Despite all these problematic points, the image of Tibetan Buddhism as the best of all religious
systems and the Dalai Lama as the gentlest (!) of all beings continues to spread successfully. One of
the latest high points in this glorification has been the cover story on Buddhism in the German news
magazine Spiegel (April 1998). In the case of the Dalai Lama this magazine, well-known for its
critical stance towards religion and anti-church articles which often did not shy away from a sharp
cynicism, let itself be used as a propaganda instrument by an atavistic, autocratic religious system.
The author of the euphoric article, Erich Follath, was like so many of his colleagues completely
