Once, when the Blessed One was seated beneath the bodhi tree, he saw all the living beings of Jambudvīpa. He saw that at the end of time, in the five-hundred-year period, an age of evil would arise. As to the thoughts and deeds of all beings, those people who encounter this text through their tenfold purity will be greatly meritorious, while those who do not encounter this text will be weak in merit and experience intense pain due to the afflictions. Human beings upon the earth will feel as if hacked apart with weapons.
Then, venerable Ānanda said to the Blessed One, “O Blessed One, since you consider human beings with compassion, please save them from this suffering.”
The Blessed One said to venerable Ānanda, “I shall explain to you. I was abiding in the expanse of space. I directed my intention to view the living beings of Jambudvīpa. Listen, all of you, to my words. This Dharma text is a teaching that will be of benefit when an age of evil arises. To write it out and recite it and practise the visualization and recitation of the Great Compassionate One will swiftly purify all harmful actions and obscurations. Honouring this text with offerings of incense and flowers will bring about the happiness of all sentient beings. Writing out and reciting this text will lead to excellent rebirth throughout all future lives.”
“In future, at the end of the five-hundred-year period,
When the teachings of the Buddha are in decline,
When the discipline of monks has deteriorated,
When minds are occupied with negative thoughts,
When people feast on broken pledges and misdeeds,
When they engage in the ten unwholesome actions,
When mantra practitioners recite evil spells,
When the five poisons are nurtured deep within,
When people misbehave physically and verbally,
When dharma teaching is in terminal decline,
When bird feathers develop on hillsides,
When wood is kept in an iron case,
When people commit wicked deeds,
All these actions, faults and defects
Will surely herald a fearful time of crisis.
This text that dispels the conditions of an evil age
Must be written out or recited immediately upon sight—
Have no doubt that this will avert the evils of the age.
It is enough to inquire whether this is true.
Let us speak and express only truth.
All those who claim that this is untrue
Will be struck by the symptoms of disease
From the tips of the hair on their head
Down to the very tips of their toes.”
“For those who lack faith in this Dharma taught by the wise and venerable Buddha, Sugata, knower of the world, guide and tamer of beings, unsurpassed teacher of gods and men, awakened and transcendent conqueror, a great earthquake will occur in a Fire Horse year. The crisis that arises at this time will intensify in a female Fire Sheep year, and some people will contract diseases due to defilement (grib) and die. Some will die on roads, and some will die in landslides.
“In a male Earth Monkey year there will be terrifying floods. In the summer, sickness brought on by famine will cause loss of life. At that time, harmful spirits will overrun the land. Copying and reciting this teaching will afford protection against harmful influences and obstacle-makers.
“In a female Earth Bird year it will be crucially important to avoid harming others, to refrain from consuming flesh or blood, and to guard one’s vows.
“In a male Iron Dog year lands and cities will be overrun by tigers, leopards, bears, wolves and jackals. It will be crucial at that time to copy and recite this Dharma as a means of liberation for human beings.
“In a female Iron Sheep year all sentient beings will come to lack self-control, like paper blown about in the wind or like a great lake that surges and overflows. At that time those people who lack faith in this text will die.”
“Unless this text is diligently recollected for five or six months, an age of epidemics will dawn. Some will die from fever; some will die from colds; some will lose their sanity and die; some will die from a sickness of the throat; some will die from a sickness of the heart; some will experience intestinal pain and then die; some will die from sickness of the liver. There is a remedy for these harmful spirits and sicknesses.
“Sons and daughters of noble family should keep on their bodies this text which guards against and remedies these forms of sickness and harmful influence. The mantra that guards against, and liberates from, all divine spirits, nāga spirits, elemental spirits and epidemics [is]:
[It] should be worn by males on their right side and by females on their left. Doing so will liberate from all epidemics and bring excellent rebirth. There is no doubt that copying, reciting and having faith in this will bring freedom from the blood-filled ocean of suffering that is saṃsāra.

After learning more about the prophecy and understanding the timeline to act, teachers from the Namchak lineage began organizing outreach efforts to support the preventative actions. These measures fall under three main categories. Many of the high lamas have been taking action in their capacity for more than two decades.
With regards to this, at the Great Dharma Encampment of Yachen, all of the prophecies of the regents of Guru Rinpoche—the great treasure revealers—were compiled and then Kyapje Kangsar Tenpay Wangchuk Rinpoche examined and compared them all, and what he found was that a great war will happen in this world in the Iron Dog Year of 2030. In the prophecies of the manifested treasure revealer Jigme Nuden Dorje, it says, “The 18 armies of Duruka will carry 108 different kinds of weapons and armor. Their food, language, and clothing will all be different (than ours.) They are all extremists with no contentment.”
Kyabje Chadrel Sangye Dorje also has stated in his Aspiration Prayer for Urging the Enlightened Minds to Avert the Strife of the Unfortunate Era, “From the unfolding ocean of results of the shared karma of beings in the final age of misfortune, helpful forces will waver while the powerful voices of destructive forces will influence those in power, and they will wield nuclear weapons which could destroy the world. Urgent signs are upon us that there is great danger of the world and its inhabitants being destroyed in a sudden shockwave of such weapons which are the machinations of corrupt aspirations. And even though these signs are manifest in the sights, sounds, and thoughts of beings, because they are thoroughly enveloped in ignorance and doubt, they still don’t sense the danger at all.”
In order to avoid such misfortunes, many methods for averting them with the stages of interdependent causes and conditions are stated in the prophecies. In Tertön Jigme Nuden Dorje’s Catalog of Prophecies, he states, “…..therefore, in the future, do this to avert it, just as you would build a dam before a flood. For once the water has risen, how could you turn it back?” and
These are the particular methods for averting from this profound terma.” Additionally, “Place a stupa in all lands and at the bottom of each valley, and within them place Guru Rinpoche who averts the disturbances of the four elements, as best you can, consecrate them and request the deities to remain within them and make the stupas big or small according to your resources.”

“place statues of Orgyen on the peaks of the highest mountains and hang colored Benza Guru prayer flags in the four directions and recite verses of auspiciousness and aspirations. Recite the Benza Guru mantra aloud day and night, the extensive and condensed Spontaneous Fulfillment of Wishes, and carve the Benza Guru mantra into stones and cliffs.
