Abstract
The Shambhala myth is a typical narrative form of collective eschatology in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. In addition to the various texts devoted to the Shambhala myth, especially the Kalachakratantra, the visual representations of the Shambhala are also important. In addition to Tibet, Shambhala was extremely popular in other areas of Tibetan Buddhism's spread, such as Mongolia and Buryatia. Here, the Shambhala myth underwent its own development during the 20th century, independent of Tibet, and was politically updated, especially in the 1920s and 1930s. This fact can be proven on both textual and visual sources in the 20th century.
Abstract (in Czech)
Šambhalský mýtus je typická narativní forma kolektivní eschatologie v tibetské buddhistické tradici. Vedle rozmanitých textů věnovaných šambhalskému mýtu, zejména Kalačakratantra, jsou důležité i vizuální reprezentace Šambhaly. Kromě Tibetu byla Šambhala neobyčejně populární i v dalších oblastech rozšíření tibetského buddhismu, jako je například Mongolsko a Burjatsko. Zde šambhalský mýtus v průběhu 20. století prodělával vlastní, na Tibetu nezávislý vývoj, politicky se aktualizoval a to zejména ve dvacátých a třicátých letech. Tuto skutečnost lze prokázat jak na textových, tak i vizuálních pramenech ve 20. století.
