Kocho the great departure 8th - 9th cent China
20 miles east to the ruins of the city of Gaochang, the southern capital of the ancient kingdom of Khocho. Shambhalists have long considered Khocho one of the main candidates for the historical kingdom of Shambhala where the Kalachakra was first composed and taught. Scholar of Indic religions Sir Charles Eliot opined as early as 1921 that, “This country [Shambhala] is seen only through a haze of myth: it may have been in India or it may have been somewhere in Central Asia, where Buddhism mingled with Turkish ideas.” Painting painter paintings art artist depiction picture portrayal colour technique color pictures art mural wall fresco Asia Asian Asiatic Faith Worship Religios Spirit Spiritual religion, statue god deity godhead divine hindu hindoo sculpture figure, monument mythology Buddhist buddhism buddha hindu hindoo hinduism devotion love culture
