“As understood in Tibet, the king’s particular function is to join heaven and earth. Heaven refers to the sphere of spiritual truth and reality, including the world of unseen beings as well as the realm of ultimate reality itself. Earth is the realm of practicality. The king, then, is supposed to provide the connecting link, bringing spiritual reality down and making it real in this world. He is to rule over human society in such a way that it reflects and respects “the ways things are” in the largest sense. Tibetans say that their first kings originated in the mists of prehistory. Originally, these rulers were sacred beings who came from heaven and returned there at the end of their lives.” AragornShambhalaDivine MasculineEnlightened LeadershipDharma KingdomDharmarajaThe King ArchetypeUnion Of Heaven And Earth Book:Indestructible Truth: The Living Spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism Source: Indestructible Truth: The Living Spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism
