Kalachakra Mandala is a Sanskrit word for “wheel of time”. The mandala of Kalachakra is an aerial view of the Kalachakra temple, situated in Lhasa and contains 722 Deities, and at its heart on a Lotus flower, a single Buddha: Kalachakra. It is a 5-level structure, each level is represented by a square, and each square is set within the others. In the mandala, there are six circles of elements: wisdom, space, wind, fire, water, and earth. Then we get to different entrances of the body, speech, and mind.
His Holiness the 14th 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. Through meditation on the Kalachakra mandala, monks invoke the qualities of the deity, striving in a ritualized way to enter the mandala and become the deity themselves. This practice is not usually public and mostly occurs behind temple walls.
Kalachakra Mantra is often chanted to feel immediate peace and comfort.
