Why read tea leaves when you can hike up a freezing mountain and stare into a body of water to see the future? In Tibetan mysticism, the practice of staring into sacred lakes like Lhamo La-tso is used to receive visions of the future, including identifying the reincarnations of the Dalai Lama. It requires extreme meditation and the ability to withstand freezing altitudes just to catch a glimpse of a prophetic reflection in the icy ripples.
