Padmasambhava prediction
Over a thousand years ago, Padmasambhava,
the great teacher who brought Buddhism from
India to Tibet, predicted that this particular dark
age would be distinguished by our increasing
cleverness. We would create myriad ways to keep
ourselves entertained, becoming experts in how
to spend free time. We would use our intellect
not for betterment but for hanging out in one
form of distraction or another, constantly on
holiday. Our discursive minds would run rampant.
Padmasambhava predicted that as we became
more shrewd and clever, compassion would seem
increasingly futile, and we would forget how to
bring meaning to our lives.
