Kalachakra: : Buddhist texts

There are a great variety of Buddhist texts. Buddhists place varying value on them: attitudes range from worship of the text itself, to dismissal of some texts as falsification of the ineffable truth. They therefore cannot be called "scripture" in the sense of other religions. The texts can be categorized in a number of ways, but the most fundamental division is that between canonical and non-canonical texts. The former, also called the Sutras (Sanskrit) or Suttas (Pali), are held to be, literally or metaphoricall ...

Kalachakra: Encyclopedia II - Kalachakra - Kalachakra Practice Today in the Four Tibetan Buddhist Schools

Buton had considerable influence on the later development of the Gelug and Sakya traditions of Kalachakra, and Dolpopa on the development of the Jonang tradition on which the Kagyu and Nyingma draw. The Kagyu and Nyingma rely heavily on the extensive, Jonang-influenced Kalachakra commentaries of Ju Mipham and Jamgon Kongtrul the Great, both of whom took a strong interest in the tradition. It should be noted, however, that there were many other influences and much cross-fertilization between the different traditions, and indeed His Holiness the Dalai Lama has asserted ...

Kalachakra: Encyclopedia II - Kalachakra - Kālachakra Practice Today in the Four Tibetan Buddhist Schools

Fighting between the schools also extended to the Jalpo deity of Sakya that was also forcibly converted to a Gelug deity, but that included the Sakya lama-lineage into that demonic deity's lineage. These subjects now have reached a pitch within the Tibetan community, as the fight for supremacy now spills over into both the Kalachakra sphere, the sphere of the banning of Jonang and as well, the sphere of the Jalpo deity. The banning ...
