Accessed on 2020-03-16</ref> ===History=== [[File:Shambali-prayer.jpg|thumb|left|Shambali monks in prayer]] The Shambali were formed after the [[Omnic Crisis]], after experiencing what they referred to as a spiritual awakening. They abandoned their pre-programmed lives to establish a [[Shambali Monastery|communal monastery]] deep in the Himalayas. After many years of meditation on the nature of existence, they came to the belief that they were more than artificial intelligences and that, like humans, they possessed the essence of a soul. Recognizing the spiritual equality they held with humans, the monks, led by the enigmatic Omnic known as Tekhartha Mondatta, sought to heal the wounds caused by the Omnic Crisis a generation earlier and bring humans and robots back into societal harmony. Their message was embraced by millions around the world, and they became global celebrities.<ref name = "Zenyatta">[https://web.archive.org/web/20190401162119/https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/heroes/zenyatta/ Zenyatta (Overwatch)], ''Blizzard Entertainment''.
