Ritual · Ceremony
Kalachakra (the Wheel of Time) is among the highest Gelug Anuttarayoga tantras, revealing the deep correspondence of time and mind-body through outer, inner, and alternative wheels, and dedicating broadly for world peace. Online, a qualified Gelug lama performs it, for the welfare of beings—pacifying, increasing, and praying for a stable, peaceful world.
🔱

🪷 Origin

Kalachakra, "the Wheel of Time," is among the most important Gelug Anuttarayoga tantras, passed from Lama Tsongkhapa’s line. Its teaching divides into outer (cosmic calendrics), inner (subtle bodily channels), and alternative (primordial purity) wheels—identifying the individual’s mind-body with the universe’s rhythm, a profound wisdom.

Kalachakra especially stresses "peace"—successive Panchen and Dalai Lamas have conferred Kalachakra initiations praying for world peace for measureless beings. The online Kalachakra ceremony turns this vast compassion into dedication for the world’s stability today.
