Assuming they actually did anything and this isn't simply another story derived from the active imagination of a somewhat biased author, with a bunch of unsespecting monks as the root?
I had the same feeling.....the date 2012 comes up just too often. It sounded just a bit too convenient...but then again who knows...Perhaps it is the truth

As a skeptic, I would call it creative imagery; basically the result of focused daydreaming (an oxymoron, I know). As far paranatural abilities go, seeing anything in the future, particularly disaster, is referred to as prophecy.
You may be right on this one about remote viewing but then again...perhaps some are indeed able to practice it. And yes, telling the future is not remote viewing.
If anything tibetan monks strive to see reality as it is. They are the biggest skeptic from what I could see. They question everything of reality and most of all perception. We rarely hear from them, they tend to keep to themselves. That is another thing that stroke me as odd. I know of many boudhist, they always keep to themselves and never do I hear them talk about this kind of stuff. They do, but they question it like any other scientific.
To go out and claim that it will happen....I have never heard of Boudhist doing this unless of course they are 100% sure.....but how can you really be about these kind of things.
Now as for them having these abilities....if anybody could do it. I would say them. They work everyday toward enlightment, meditate to further understand their mind and body. If they devellop pshycic powers, I would not be surprise.
This is just to odd.....Budhist monk are about understand life as it is and striving for enlightment. It is the most down to hearth practice I have seen. NEVER...NEVER did they say prophecies about anything.... Maybe they changed their mind
I tend to question the validity of this article....or perhaps the tourist misunderstood.....who knows
thinking of it....I will show this article to Budhist monk, and see what they think about it...I'll will come back with update
for anyone who may have been curious....actually I was surprised.
Bouddhist monk are actually encouraged to develop these abilities. It is said Oracle and medium are quite common among them.....
There is not big propheices among them like we can see with the Bible etc....but they still have some from their Oracles from time to time....
Ho well...we will see if they fall into the false prophecie category in 2012 or not.....

Remote viewing is nothing new in Tibetan monasteries. For thousands of years remote viewing in the middle of other spiritual activities have dominated Tibetan culture. What some Indian tourists came to learn from a few Tibetan monasteries under the current Chinese rule is extremely alarming and fascinating.
