January Meditation

Posted on January 2, 2006March 10, 2022 by romanagiulia

Kalachakra Teaching 2006 

Introduction to Kalachakra
“May I be inspired to accomplish the meditations Of the supreme Yoga’s of the profound tantric path Of Kalachakra, the king of tantric traditions, And thus purify and dissolve all physical materiality, Giving rise to the dance of the empty body In union with the great unchangings bliss That in turn induces highest enlightement, The state of the primordial Buddha Kalachakra.”

Kalachakra means Time-Wheel, as “Kala” is Sanskrit for Time and “Chakra” (or Cakra) is Wheel in Sanskrit. It is also translated as Time-Cycles. Much in this tradition revolves around the concept of time and cycles ; from the cycles of the planets, to the cycles of our breath and the practice of controlling the most subtle energies within one’s body on the path to enlightenment. The Kalachakra deity represents omniscience as everything in under the influence of time, he is time and therefore knows all. Similarly, the Wheel is beginningless and endless.

His Holiness The Dalai Lama will be giving the Kalachakra Blessing this year in Andhra Pradesh, India from January 3rd to January 15th. So, for this month’s meditation, I thought I would shed light on the beautiful ceremony, which includes the making of the mandala you see above (which of course is then distroyed to symbolise the lesson of impermanence).
