Framed poster - The 13th Dalai Lama - Thubten Gyatso - Tibet - Buddhism

A remarkable historical image of the last Dalai Lama before the invasion and destruction of
Tibet by China. This Dalai Lama already had visions that the end was coming.

Thubten Gyatso was an intellectual reformer who proved himself a skillful politician.
He was responsible for countering the British expedition to Tibet,
restoring discipline in monastic life, and increasing the number of
lay officials to avoid excessive power being placed in the hands of the monks.

His prophesy was very clear:

Very soon in this land (with a harmonious blend of religion and politics) deceptive acts may occur from without and within. At that time, if we do not dare to protect our territory, our spiritual personalities including the Victorious Father and Son (Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama) may be exterminated without trace, the property and authority of our Lakangs (residences of reincarnated lamas) and monks may be taken away. Moreover, our political system, developed by the Three Great Dharma Kings (Tri Songtsen Gampo, Tri Songdetsen and Tri Ralpachen) will vanish without anything remaining. The property of all people, high and low, will be seized and the people forced to become slaves. All living beings will have to endure endless days of suffering and will be stricken with fear. Such a time will come.
