Ancient Prophecy Predicts Disaster in Hong Kong As Lion Rock’s Eye Glows Red
Original article on Epoch Times
HONG KONG—The enormous eye of Lion Rock in Hong Kong mysteriously turned red a few days before the new year, eyewitnesses reported.
A symbol of Hong Kong’s spirit, the famous Lion Rock is a lion-shaped hill that overlooks Hong Kong’s Kowloon area. At 2pm on Dec. 22, the lion’s eye turned red twice, lasting 30 minutes before fading out.
Some citizens were alarmed by this phenomenon, taking it as a sign that Hong Kong is in trouble. They appealed to the Hong Kong people to take measures to safeguard Hong Kong.
Hong Kong citizen Ms. Xiao Hong said that she was waiting for a bus in Wong Tai Sin District when she noticed that Lion Rock looked very different from normal. She was startled to see that it showed a red eye.
The sky was very clear, she said, and so was the view. As she stared at it, the lion’s eye became redder and redder, and its head looked alive, as if it was moving.
Legend of the Red-Eyed Lion
In some folklore the lion is a symbol of Buddhism, warning people to abandon evil and promote goodness. In one ancient legend called “The Red-Eyed Lion,” an old woman worshipped Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, Goddess of Compassion, and observed her teachings of virtue. One day the woman helped a beggar, who was in fact Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara testing her in disguise.
When the old woman offered food to the beggar, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara appeared in a snow white robe in solemnity and supremacy, accompanied by dancing fairies. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara told the old woman that a flood was coming. The calamity would occur when the eyes of the rock lion at the village entrance turned red.

A prank, I guess?
Just hire some eco freaky guy to chisel out that rocks eyeball.
Well good thing you posted about it here.
Because every time anyone predicts anything happening, and posts it on BIN, it NEVER EVER HAPPENS.
So good job, you just saved Hong Kong.
We’ll stated Observer, far too many wanna be prophets shouting “Danger Will Robinson, Chicken Littles Sky is falling!!!”.
Personally I don’t have any issues with prophetic stories that are backed up with good research and include at least a minimal bibliography. But take exception when bovine effluent is thrown at a high speed fan for the sake of getting views then label commenters trolls and obot when presented with evidence that the premise for the article is mildly inaccurate.
I think Apollo has presented a good article reporting it in a neutral context with link to the source. I like BIN as it is a good broad spectrum news site but is now drowning in bad authorship and suffering from rise of the fear-mongers. If it’s an egg call it an egg not unborn Godzilla with lazer eyes that will destroy everything.
If we all as authors or commenters respect articles by using good research, apply logic reasoning, present personal interpretation as such, quote correctly and maintain a bit of dignity when faced with rants from name callers and haters.
Time to water blast the mud off, apply some wax, and do some polishing. Let’s make BIN a nice shiny vehicle for news and knowledge that it deserves to be, not a rusting vehicle stuck in the mud.
That just about sums up BiN.
Nonsense
really?
