1, what does Shambhala mean?
The word Shambhala is translated into "Shangri-La" in Tibetan, which means "Pure Land of Blissfulness" and comes from the records in "Time Wheel Sutra". For many Tibetan Buddhists, going to Shambhala is a lifelong pursuit, but there is never a clear answer about where Shambhala is.
2. The entrance to Shambhala
Legend has it that the entrance to Shambhala Holy Land is in the Potala Palace, Your Highness. This legend has some truth, because the Potala Palace itself is the holy land of Lamaism, and its site selection and design must have its own unique place. Moreover, the Potala Palace has a complex structure, with many tunnels and secret doors, just like a maze. Regrettably, until now, people have not found the real entrance of Shambhala, nor have they found any records about the entrance of Shambhala.
3. The truth about the underground palace of Potala Palace
There are 1200 mysterious "underground palaces" detected by Potala Palace. Some people think that there is an entrance to Shambhala, but in fact these so-called mysterious "underground palaces" refer to the foundation built for Potala Palace, also known as "ridges".
For the devout followers of Tibetan Buddhism, they believe that the Shambhala Kingdom still exists today, and it has been preserved as the only pure land on earth. According to the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, Shambhala is first and foremost a kingdom in the spiritual realm, which can only be reached by people who have been enlightened by the wheel of time. There is only one exact address of Shambhala: on the other side of the Xita River. But this river can't be found on any map. So Shambhala is still an unconfirmed mystery.
