Kalachakra Tantra

The Kalachakra Tantra (Skt. kālacakratantra; T. dus kyi 'khor lo དུས་ཀྱི་འཁོར་ལོ་) is one of the main tantras practised by the Sarma ("New Translation") schools within Tibetan Buddhism. The name means "wheel of time" or "time-cycles". It has a unique presentation of cosmology.

The 14th Dalai Lama has given the transmission of the Kalachakra many times around the world for the sake of world peace.
