DALAI LAMA steps down from his political role
Legal expert Lobsang Sangay has won an election to become head of the Tibetan government-in-exile, taking over the Dalai Lama’s political role. The change, yet to be written into the exile constitution, reverses 300 years of tradition in which the top monk also guided the Tibetan government.

This is interesting in light of the Buddhist concept of Chakravartin (World Ruler) which concentrates political (worldly) and spiritual power in one person. Himmler with his fascination for Buddhism had integrated this concept in the new nationalistic socialistic religion with Hitler the embodiment of just such a world ruler. The Chakravartin rules over the whole earth and is a warlord. According to a prophecy in the Tibetan Buddhist Kalachakra-Tantra, the Chakravartin will lead an army that will destroy the enemies of Buddhist teaching to then establish the worldwide rule of Buddhism, the kingdom of Shambala.

Pray for Lobsang Sangay
In 1995, Dr. Sangay was selected as a Fulbright Scholar and obtained his Masters degree at Harvard Law School. His thesis was on Buddhism and Human Rights. In 2004, he earned his Doctorate in Law from Harvard Law School, becoming the first Tibetan to receive this degree. As an expert on Tibet, international human rights law, democratic constitutionalism, and conflict resolution, Dr. Sangay has given lectures on Sino-Tibet issues in various universities, think tanks, and other public forums in Europe, Asia, and North America. He is often consulted by the news media, and his articles about Tibet are widely published.

Pray for the Dalai Lama
Pray that the Lord will bring believers across his path. In July, he will be laying a Kalachakra Mandala for World Peace in Washington, DC, USA, from July 6-16. Curing the first three days of the Kalachakra from July 6 through 8, the Dalai Lama, along with the monks of Namgyal Monastery and senior lamas, will conduct rituals which prepare and consecrate the venue. These include chanting of prayers, creation of the sand mandala, and other rituals. From July 9 to 11, he will give preliminary teachings. On July 12, the Kalachadra Ritual Dance will be performed by the monks of Namgyal Monastery. The Dalai Lama will confer the Kalachadra Initiation from July 13 to 15. On July 16, a long life empowerment (tsewang) and a ceremony offering prayers for the long life of the Dalai Lama will be performed. Website: www.kalachakra2011.com

(Excerpted from the Vision for Asia call to prayer)

Pray that any occult spirits from the Dalai Lama and monks of Tibetan Buddhism will be bound and unable to bring harm to Washington, D.C. or the U.S.A. May they and those they seek to influence or have influenced in the past be set free from the power of darkness and come to know the light of life in Jesus Christ!
