The Nechung Oracle was the one who advised the Dala Llama to flee tibet...this is the 'spirit' side of Tibetan Buddhism..
in such a tradition such things are highly specialised and trained, and people recognised as children..
and highly guarded..as were such traditions
.

in the oldest of Pali texts, Khaggavisana (Rhinoceros) Sutta -

the Buddha said:

"Renouncing violence
for all living beings,
harming not even a one,
you would not wish for offspring,
so how a companion?
Wander alone
like a rhinoceros.

For a sociable person
there are allurements;
on the heels of allurement, this pain.
Seeing allurement's drawback,
wander alone
like a rhinoceros."


"..Transcending the contortion of views,
the sure way attained,
the path gained,
realising:
'Unled by others,
I have knowledge arisen'.
wander alone
like a rhinoceros.

With no greed, no deceit,
no thirst, no hypocrisy —
delusion & blemishes
blown away —
with no inclinations for all the world,
every world,
wander alone
like a rhinoceros.

Avoid the evil companion
disregarding the goal,
intent on the out-of-tune way.
Don't take as a friend
someone heedless & hankering.
wander alone
like a rhinoceros.

Consort with one who is learned,
who maintains the Dhamma,
a great & quick-witted friend.
Knowing the meanings,
subdue your perplexity,
[then] wander alone
like a rhinoceros."
