The Dalai Lama and the Kalachakra

Although thought to have once been a carefully guarded secret of the Shambhala Kingdom, the Kalachakra Tantra is now widely known. The Dalai Lama himself has given thirty-three separate initiations into this practice all over the world, including in Tibet, India, Switzerland, Canada, and the United States.

In an essay on his website, His Holiness writes, “the Kalachakra initiations empower the disciple to practice the yoga of the Kalachakra tantra, and, ultimately, to achieve the state of Shri Kalachakra.” As with other mandala practices, the goal here is for the initiate to “enter” into the mandala and identify with the deity represented therein.

The Kalachakra Thangka painting represents the wheel of time and the interconnectedness of all phenomena, serving as a potent tool for meditation and spiritual transformation.

The Kalachakra Mandala

Through meditation on the Kalachakra mandala, monks invoke the qualities of the deity, striving in a ritualized way enter the mandala and become the deity themselves. This practice is not usually public, and mostly occurs behind temple walls. In the public realm, the Kalachakra mandala is sometimes rendered as a thangka, a traditional style of Tibetan art frequently used to depict mandalas, and also as a sand mandala. Sand mandalas are performed as a cultural display in universities or other institutions by traveling monks. Upon completion, they are destroyed in a ritual meant to honor the impermanent nature of reality.The symbolism of the mandala is rich. It is a two dimensional depiction of the three-dimensional palace of the deity Kalachakra. At the top of the palace, or the center of the mandala, dwells the god himself. Arrayed around the halls of the five-story palace beneath his feet are 722 other deities, all submitting to the great god Kalachakra who symbolizes the unstoppable passage of time.The floors of the palace depicted in the Kalachakra Mandala, from the ground up, represent:

• Enlightened body

• Enlightened speech

• Enlightened mind

• Enlightened wisdom

• Enlightened great bliss

Arrayed around the palace are four elemental rings and two outer rings. From the inside out they are:

• Earth

• Water

• Fire

• Wind

• Space

• Wisdom

Taken together, all of these elements compose a microcosm of the universe, ruled by time personified.

The benefits of meditating on Kalachakra Thangka paintings are manifold, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. Physically, meditation promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and strengthens the immune system, leading to improved overall health and well-being.

Spiritually, meditation on Kalachakra Thangkas deepens one's connection to the divine and fosters a sense of unity with all beings, leading to greater compassion, wisdom, and spiritual fulfillment.

Kalachakra is a Sanskrit word made up of two terms; Kala meaning “Time” and chakra meaning “Cycle”, literally translated into English as “Cycle of Time”. But what does that actually mean? To answer this question, we will need to look at Kalachakra from multiple dimensions or levels of understanding. It is a two-dimensional representation of the five-story palace of the Kalachakra deity, in which a total of 722 deities resides, with Kalachakra and his consort Vishvamata united in an embrace of perpetual bliss at the very center. The Mandala practice of Kalchakra is to initiate to “enter” into the mandala and identify with the deity represented therein.

The term mandala describes a basic pattern of geometric shapes contained within a circle that has immense spiritual potency as a representation of the metaphysical cosmos. This sounds very complex, and it is, so there are many different kinds of mandalas that deal with different sets of symbolism. Here are a few of the basic symbolic elements that define many mandalas.

In Buddhism, the center is seen as enlightenment or sometimes the essence of the enlightened Buddha. Again, each layer of shapes within the mandala represents a part of the journey, including meditation and rituals. The fact that layers are contained within each other represents the idea that the journey and the arrival are still connected in a synthetic whole. Take a minute to wrap your head around that.

White Tara is a goddess which embodies the spirit of Compassion. She wears the Bodhisattva ornaments. A Bodhisattva vow is to continue to return to this world until the enlightenment of all sentient beings. The White Tara "Wow" is to know her love... to know love... and the innate desire that arises from love, which is to share love with all, recognizing our oneness. The Rainbow Body practice is often identified with her. The white of her light when put through the prism of this life shines through as a rainbow, representing the diversity of all life. She is the experience of oneness of all colors, all beings and her love and compassion for all comes from loving herself which is all. She has seven eyes, the two usual ones, one in the middle of her forehead and eyes in her hands and feet. This symbolizes that all of her activities are done with omniscient awareness. She is said to bring health and prolong life. Operating from the space of this compassionate love generates a long and fulfilling life.
