"The Kalachakra, or "Wheel of Time," is one of the most profound and sublime of the Buddhist tantric systems. It is an intricate interweaving of astrology, eschatology, physiology, and yoga into a meditational path system that embraces the entire material universe and leads to complete, perfect enlightenment. The Kalachakra, with its special connection to the land of Shambhala and a future golden age of Dharma, has a special appeal for people of all levels of learning and practice. Initiation into its practices traditionally have been large public events, especially when granted by the Dalai Lama. Initiation into the Kalachakra Tantra has been given with increasing frequency in recent years, but information on this complex system and practice remains sparse. The Wheel of Timeattempts in part to fill the gap. The book opens with a Foreword by His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Then the five articles discuss, respectively, the Buddhist background, history, initiation rites, generation stage sadhana, and completion stage practices of the Kalachakra Tantra."… (plus d'informations)

Buddhism is a vast and diverse religious tradition, but whether the image of the Buddha that we conjure is a delicate sandstone carving from Sarnath, the great bronze statue at Kamakura, or a weather-worn volcanic rock sculpture from Borobudun, the features are likely to be the same: the meditation posture, the finely draped robes, the crown protuberance, the separately curled hairs, the pendant earlobes, the eyes neither quite open nor quite closed, and, above all, the smile--that elusive half-smile that suggests at once personal satisfaction in the transcendance of worldly suffering and compassion for beings still mired in the round of unwanted rebirths that is cyclic existence.
Foreword: The notion and sense of "I" is a mere projection on the four or five psychophysical aggregates which make up the person.

Notwithstanding these difficulties, we have tried somewhat to delineate the Kalachakra path against the background of the other Anuttara tantras, especiallywith respect to its treatment of subtle body.
