PUBLISHER'S NOTE
·Kalacakra belongs to the class of Highest Yoga Tantra and was
originally given by Shakyamuni Buddha to the Dharma King of
Shambhala, Suchandra. The lineage was maintained in Shambhala
and later passed back to India and then to Tibet where
it
has been
preserved until the present day. Recently the Kalacakra initiation
has also been given not only to people from the West, but actually
in the Western World. However, authentic publications concern-
ing Kalacakra in English or any other Western language remain
extremely rare, so we are particularly happy to be able to publish
the present work.
In 1983 LTWA's resident teacher, Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey
was invited by some of his long-standing students in Seattle USA
to give an explanation of the practice of Kalacakra. The present
work
is
an edited translation of that teaching and contains advice
concerning the various commitments and initial practices peculiar
to the Kalacakra system within the context of Highest Yoga Tantra
in general.
The oral teaching was first translated from Tibetan into English
by Gelong Jampa Kelsang (Alan Wallace) and the subsequent
transcript was meticulously edited and prepared for publication
under the able supervision of lvanka Vana Jakie. The completed
copy was then offered to Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey for review.
We are most grateful to all who have contributed their efforts to
this project, particularly to the teacher, translator and editor, and
also to Venerable Dagchen Sakya Rinpoche and Dagmo Kusho
who kindly offered a location for the teaching in their centre Sakya
Tegchen Choling.
Sale and distribution of this book is restricted. We urgently
request that only initiates into Highest Yoga Tantra and preferably
into the Kalacakra system itself should read it. This caution is
customary to the tradition, but to disregard it can only be
detrimental. That said we hope that the work
will
be of benefit to
those serious students interested in practising this impeccable path
to Buddhahood for the welfare of living beings.
