Essential for Kalachakra Practitioners

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.

Essential text blesses me as I read

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
