Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhist Teachers, Deities and other Spiritual beingsRigden Gyatsho Namgyal in Tibetan is another name for Samudravijaya—one of the “Twenty-Five Kalkis” (Tibetan: rigs ldan) as well as the “Thirty-two kings of Shambhala”, according to the Tibetan oral recounting and written texts such as the Kalachakra Tantra (kālacakratantra), dealing with the Buddhist conception of the end of the world and time.—The Tibetan mythic land (the kingdom of Shambhala) is a parallel world invisible and inaccessible to common people which is closely related to the teaching about the Wheel of Time (dus 'khor). The seven Dharmarajas and twenty-five Kulikas [e.g., rigden gyatsho namgyal] are the traditional rulers of Shambhala, passing on the reign from father to son.
