"The Shambhala Warrior Prophecy" • Joanna Macy
https://oneearthsangha.org/articles/the-shambala-warrior-prophecy/> «There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. In that time great powers have arisen. Barbarian powers as they’re called. And although they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common. And among the things they have in common are weapons of unfathomable, destructive power and technologies that lay waste to the world. It is just at this point, when the future of all beings hangs by the frailest of threads, that the kingdom of Shambhala emerges.
> Now, you can’t go there, because it’s not a place. It exists in the hearts and minds of the Shambhala warriors. And you can’t tell whether someone is a Shambhala warrior just by looking at them because they wear no uniform or insignia. They have no banners to show which side they’re on, no barricades on which to climb to threaten the enemy or behind which they can rest and regroup. The Shambhala warriors don’t have any home turf. There is only the terrain of the barbarian powers for them to move on, regroup, and use.»
