New Ages, New Age movements
The discussion of Tibetan Buddhism is strangely caught up in New Age mythologies, and these are discussed in World History And The Eonic Effect: New Ages.
However Buddhists, in some cases, were well aware of the coming of a new era, although its form was not what they expected.
I have perhaps been too harsh to New Age movements, but nothing in what i have said denies them their right to exist!
In fact, such movements, as Schopenhauer chronicles it (among others), were built into modernity from the start.
