Center of the Universe

vIDETTE lAKE

The Mysterious Discovery of the Centre of the Universe at Vidette Lake:

In the early 1980s, a remarkable event unfolded at Vidette Lake in Deadman Valley, located 30 kilometers east and 50 kilometers north of Kamloops, British Columbia. On a snowy November day, a man dressed in white robes, later identified as an apprentice monk, arrived at the Vidette Lake Gold Mine Resort. He introduced himself to the resort owner, claiming to have pinpointed the Centre of the Universe. The owner, intrigued and hospitable, welcomed him into his cabin, a structure with historical roots dating back to the 1860s as a Fur Trading Post.The apprentice monk had been sent from San Francisco by his Rinpoche, or Master Teacher, who had identified this specific location on a map, despite never having visited it. The monk's mission was to conduct a series of tests to verify this bold claim. After performing these tests, which included geographical assessments and mystical phenomena such as spontaneous fires and choral sounds, the monk concluded that the site indeed held significant spiritual power.This initial visit sparked further interest, and in 1984, the Master Teacher along with a group of followers returned to conduct more extensive tests. They confirmed the site's spiritual significance, particularly noting its geographic features resembling a ship's prow and its unique position at the confluence of three valleys.The site's spiritual allure attracted more visits, including a significant one in 1988 by high-ranking monks who attempted to secure the land for spiritual purposes. Although their efforts to bring the Dalai Lama to the site fell through, the location continued to draw monks and spiritual seekers.Unbeknownst to many, the site also held special significance for the local First Nations people, further adding to its mystical and historical importance.
