The
Home of Kalachakra
"With the nature of emptiness and compassion,
without birth and destruction in the three realms,
consciousness and objects of consciousness in one form,
I prostrate to the glorious bhagavan Kalachakra."

His
Holiness the Dalai Lama has given the Kalachakra Initiation frequently
all over the world, and we consider that the Kalachakra forms a
fundamental element in his mission to our planet in this time. We
wish to extend the effectiveness of that mission through offering
practical support for pure traditional practice of Kalacakra
To quote from our Memorandum of Intent,
we want "to provide world-wide, trans-sectarian support for
Kalachakra practice and study in authentic lineages, by acting as
a non-hierarchical communication platform between vajra brothers
and sisters, with the deepest respect for the advice of fully qualified
teachers such as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
The Network began in 1997, and is quickly growing far beyond an
informal email link between a few people and a small website. Some
of us are scholars/translators, and making authentic practice materials
available to practitioners is one of the aims of our Network, currently
in 12 languages. With the help and donations of people
who joined our Network, we managed to organise our first unique teachings
by a very qualified teacher early 2004, and the translation of a major
Kalachakra commentary has been completed in July 2005. Both are now
available to Initiates for free (for more information on our plans,
check our Wish List).
The IKN is interested in supporting the development of Kalachakra
Practice Groups around the world, and we can give advice from our
experience in London and other groups on guidelines for facilitating
such groups successfully. It is recommended that these groups
be trans-sectarian, but we will support any groups rooted in an authentic
lineage.
This website has a public area and an area restricted to people who
have received the Kalachakra Initiation and registered
with us. This restricted area is needed to protect the tantric
secrecy vows, which are intended to ensure proper guidance by a qualified
teacher and to avoid misunderstanding regarding these advanced practices.
Similarly, we also created two Discussion
Forums, one for the general public, and one for Members only.
