Essays on the Kalacakra Tantra in Honor of H.H. the Dalai Lama on behalf of Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies with a forward by Robert A. F. Thurman. Edward A. Arnold is an independent scholar of Tibetan Buddhism living in Ithaca, New York. The Kalacakra TantraKalacakra means "wheel of time"is a tradition of Buddhist theory and practice whose root text treats a fantastic expanse of knowledge ranging from observations of the cosmos to investigations of meditative states and vital bodily energies. In the Tibetan-speaking world, a public Kalacakra initiation remains the most sought-after event in the life of a devout Buddhist. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama has long had a strong connection with the Kalacakra Tantra; he brought the initiation to the West in 1981, performing it in the U.S., Switzerland, Spain, and Australia. This volume has been created to celebrate his long involvement with the Kalacakra teachings.
