Reincarnation 7: The Oracle

The Nechung Oracle is the State Oracle of Tibet, holding significant spiritual and political influence. During trance-induced states, the Oracle channels a protective deity, believed to be Pehar Gyalpo, to offer prophecies and guidance. These prophecies have historically played a crucial role in major decisions, including the identification of the Dalai Lama's reincarnations. The Nechung Oracle's pronouncements continue to be respected and sought after by Tibetans, both in exile and within Tibet, serving as a link to their spiritual and cultural heritage.
