Kalachakra Tantra. The history of tantra, initiations and practices, symbolism of the yidam and mandala, astrology.

Among the buddhologists-tibetologists, Edward Henning (1949–2016) earned a reputation as a Western expert on Kalachakra literature, a disseminator of information about this tradition and its yogic practice, as well as a researcher of the Tibetan calendar. His articles, containing unique materials often taken from Tibetan commentaries on the Kalachakra Tantra, compiled by eminent masters of the Jonang tradition such as Jetsun Taranatha and Bamda Gelek Tubten Gyamtso, became a source of materials for this collection on the Kalachakra Tantra. This book is intended for a wide range of readers, as it contains rich material not only for Buddhists but also for those interested in science, astronomy, metaphysics, history, and even architecture.

The book is dedicated to the dissemination of the Kalachakra Tantra teachings in this world!
