This is not about religion, this is not about cultism, and this is something entirely different. While you have heard of the Dalai Lama, you might not know that he has a "spiritual advisor" known as the Oracle.
The Oracle is touring the US and it's the first time the Oracle has come down from the Himalayas -- at the behest of the Dalai Lama (something that Richard Gere has been wishing to happen for eons) to bring the words of wisdom, peace and love to the people of the world and specifically the US.
Who Is the Oracle?
The Venerable Thupten Ngodup , or "kutenla" as he is called, is a Buddhist monk/healer and a medium. He is known as the medium of the State Oracle of Tibet. During special events he is called upon by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, to go into a trance. At this time he becomes an Oracle and answers questions about pressing matters that affect Tibet.
Born in 1958, in Tibet, his family escaped in 1966 and settled in Dharamsala , India , where he became a monk at age 12. He was recognized as a medium at age 29, and is highly respected and honored for this role.
This is the first public tour by Kutenla, who has the blessings of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama to come and offer his wisdom on a wide range of topics, from global warming and challenges to the earth's environment, to matters of the heart. He speaks sincerely from a deep level of compassion and love for all, and his generosity of spirit is well-known and revered. There are reasons he is making this visit: Offer the indigenous spiritual wisdom of Tibet on many pressing challenges to the earth, its peoples, and our collective well-being, including global warming.
Fund the building of Deyang Monastery, which is closely associated with the lineage of the Nechung Oracle and Nechung Monastery. The Tibetan culture and religion are severely threatened in Tibet and must be maintained outside that region for its survival. Nechung Kuten is seeking financial support to build a Monastery in Southern India that will enrich and increase the potential of the invaluable lineage of Tibet's Chief State Oracle. The Monastery will be consecrated in January, 2008, with the blessing of H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama.
Offer "Long Life" Initiations and Blessings as well as celebrate and provide support for the Tibetan culture, the Tibetan language and other aspects of the culture, including the promotion of compassion and peace.
While I personally am not a Buddhist -- there is something to be gained by listening to this man who has devoted his life to meditation and the wisdom of the ages. There are challenges to living today and we need to learn to cope with them and how to change not only our world but ourselves to find the answers to solve the problems that we encounter in our world.
