Question asked by Eric
Hello again Pastor Niral
When Dorje Shugden or a member of his retinue take trance of the Panglung Oracle what language do they speak?
When Dorje Shugden or a member of his retinue take trance of the Gameng (Ari) Oracle what language do they speak?
When the Nechung State Oracle is taken trance by Dorje Drakden he speaks in a "Twilight" language that only a handful of monks from his Nechung Monastery have been taught.
I don't think that either the Panglung or Gameng Oracles speak a "Twilight" language unknown to anyone on Earth.
Do the Panglung and Gameng Oracle reply in either the Tibetian or Mongolian language?
Would you like to comment on the Nechung's "Twilight" language?
How can we trust that the Nechung monks doing the translation of this unknown language are tell us the truth.
They could be subject to strong influences, pressures or even bribes into saying something totally false.
Thanks again for all you help and insights Pastor Niral.
Dear Eric,
Your questions are thought provoking, as always. When Dorje Shugden or his retinue take trance of either the Panglung Oracle, the Gameng Oracle, or any other oracle for that matter, they speak in the language that the oracle speaks. For example, if the oracle himself speaks Tibetan, and as Dorje Shugden temporarily inhabits the body of the oracle, he uses the faculties of the oracle’s body to speak in Tibetan.
Similarly, if Dorje Shugden was to take trance in an oracle that spoke English, he would communicate with practitioners in English. And you are right in saying that neither the Panglung or Gameng Oracles speak in a “Twilight” language. In fact, they both speak in very clear Tibetan when in trance, as both oracles speak and communicate in Tibetan primarily.
Now, for Nechung, he does indeed speak in a “Twilight” language when in trance of his oracle. Therefore, his predictions and what he says requires ‘translation’ into ordinary language. This ‘translation’ is done by the oracle’s assistants who are said to have been trained in understanding this language. The strange thing is that it is not clear who actually teaches these assistants this “Twilight” language. On top of that since the ‘translation’ comes from ordinary monks, instead of through the oracle and therefore directly from Nechung himself, they can be swayed by outside influence. Therefore you are totally correct is deducing that they could indeed be pressured or bribed into ‘translating’ something entirely false. I hope this helps. Thank you.
