Roger Jackson provides accurate, accessible translations of three classics of medieval Indian Buddhist mysticism: the "couplet-treasuries" of the great tantric masters Saraha, Kanha, and Tilopa. Since their composition around 1000 CE, these poems have exerted a powerful influence on spiritual life, as well as poetry and song, in India, Nepal, and Tibet. Jackson's fresh translations allow the poetry to shine through, capturing the sense and spirit of the poems in the original. Jackson offers a thorough introduction that deftly summarizes the latest scholarship, situating the poems in their historical context and making them accessible not only to scholars but also to students and practitioners.
The Kalachakra, or "Wheel of Time," is one of the most profound and
sublime of the Buddhist tantric systems. It is an intricate
interweaving of astrology, eschatology, physiology, and yoga into a
meditational path system that embraces the entire material universe
and leads to complete, perfect enlightenment. The Kalachakra, with
its special connection to the land of Shambhala and a future golden
age of Dharma, has a special appeal for people of all levels of
learning and practice. Initiation into its practices traditionally
have been large public events, especially when granted by the Dalai
Lama.
