Inspired by years of scholarly training and decades of solitary retreat, Tibetan monk Gen Lamrimpa offers a concise overview of all phases of the Kalachakra practice: the preliminaries, the initiation, and finally, the stages of generation and completion. With remarkable clarity, he makes the Six-Session Guruyoga practice accessible to all practitioners, and deepens the reader's understanding and appreciation of this sublime teaching of the Buddha. Alan Wallace's introduction illuminates both Kalachakra's rich history and Gen Lamrimpa's unique contribution to our understanding.

Essential text blesses me as I read,
By dianne fox (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transcending Time: An Explanation of the Kalachakra Six-Session Guruyoga (Paperback)
I love working with this text. The text goes line by line through the Kalachakra 6 session guruyoga practice written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama(also included), explaining and amplifying in clear, simple language. It is a transcription of teachings given to an American dharma center: not just what to do, but why. My practice has deepened as a result of this book. I read a passage, then take it into meditation and immediately see that another level of meaning opens. Thank you, Ven. Lamrimpa-la. Thank you, Mr. Wallace. You are sources of sustenance.

Best Kalachakra practice book,
By "duby13" (Zagreb Croatia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transcending Time: An Explanation of the Kalachakra Six-Session Guruyoga (Paperback)
If you receive Kalachakra empowerment, this is the book for you. Detailed explanation of six-session guru yoga and Kalachakra overall is excilent.

Essential for Kalachakra Practitioners,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Transcending Time: An Explanation of the Kalachakra Six-Session Guruyoga (Paperback)
I agree that this is indeed the most important practice manual for Kalachakra practitioners currently available that I have come across, particularly for those practising the 6-session Kalachakra Guru-yoga text prepared by HH the Dalai Lama and his senior tutor, the great Ling Rinpoche. The book is a long, detailed teaching on this guru-yoga practice, explaining many of the subtle points that would be missed just from reading the text without instruction. It is wonderfully informative and inspiring. However, it is only for those who have received the Kalachakra empowerment.
