Abstract

The Chronological Table of Tibetan Buddhist history of 'Jam-dbyangs-bzhad-pa precedes the famous chronological table of Sum-pa-mkhan-po. A feature of both chronological tables is that they were written in acceptance of the legend of the country of Shambhala, as taught in the Kalacakratantra. Namely, they record that the 25th generation Raudracakrin king of the ideal Buddhism kingdom Shambhala will win the final war with Islam, reviving Buddhism. Sum-pa-mkhan-po projects the date of this event to be A. D. 2376.
