The Dynasty of Shambhala
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

The table below shows the names of the successive rulers of Shambhala. The first eight are called Dharmarajas or Dharma Kings and the remainder are known as Kulikas or Bearers of the Lineage (Tib. rigden). In the future, during the life of 33rd Kulika Rudra Chakri (Rigden Drakpo Chagkhorchen), all of Jambudvipa will be divided into twenty four sections and will be ruled by him. After that, his two sons, Brahma and Devendra (Tib. Tsangpa and Lhawang), will each rule over twelve of those sections and will propagate Kalachakra thoughout both halves of Jambudvipa. After them will come Kashyapa (Tib. Od-Sung) and other kings who will rule the many sections of Jambudvipa and gradually bring about the flourishing of Kalachakra.
