Book Description

The Kālachakra—or "Wheel of Time"—tantra is one of the most detailed and encompassing systems of theory and practice within Tibetan Buddhism. This book contains a complete translation of the Kālachakra initiation ritual interspersed with commentary from the Dalai Lama, a valuable new index, and a comprehensive introduction by Professor Jeffrey Hopkins that explores the Kālachakra's rich symbolism and history.

Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama is the supreme religious leader of Tibetan Buddhists and until 1959 AD, the Dalai Lama represented the spiritual and worldly leadership in Tibet.
He is, of course, a Buddhist monk of the Gelugpa group, which was founded by Tsongkhapa (1357-1419).
The title of King of Tibet and the successor of Buddha in the eyes of his followers. The last to hold this title was the 14th Dalai Lama, born in Shanghai in 1935, when he was four years old when a group of lamas considered him to be the successor to the 13th Dalai Lama. It was then erected in Lhasa in 1940 and came to be considered a "living Buddha".
He was a pacifist. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his peaceful struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He has consistently advocated nonviolent policies, even in the face of extreme aggression. He also became the first Nobel Prize winner to be honored for his interest in global environmental problems.
