Ornament of Stainless Light: An Rexposition of the Kalacakra Tantra

The premiere volume of Thupten Jinpa s thirty-volume LIBRARY OF TIBETAN CLASSICS, to be inaugurated to coincide with the Dalai Lama s conferral of the initiation rite of Kalachakra in Toronto in April 2004. The Kalachakra (literally, Wheel of Time ) tantra, a core practice of Tibetan Buddhism, is a method for transforming the universe by working with the body and mind. This first volume of the LIBRARY OF TIBETAN CLASSICS Series was hand-picked by the Dalai Lama - who recognized it as the finest possible explication of this practice - and overseen by Thupten Jinpa, whose work has been indispensable to Tibetan Buddhism, both in the West and on the whole.
