Is Lamaism
Buddhism? (5) Is Lamaism
Buddhism? (2) - Dalai Lama's Black Magic 28 April 2008 This is the translation of the excerpt of a reaserch paper by 耶律大石, a resident in Taiwan province. The full text in Chinese can be viewed on www.realsidelama.cn. There are many Tantras in Tibetan Lamaism. The most important tantras include Guhyasamaya Tantra, Hevajra Tantra, Candamaharosana Tantra and Kalachakra Tantra. The earliest book is Guhyasamaya Tantra, written in 4th century, some eight hundred years after the nirvana of Buddha Sykamoni, while the newest text composed just in the 10th century. Of all these Tantras, there is one that is regarded as the most sacred and represents the essence of the Tibetan Lamaism: Kalachakra Tantra - Kala means time and chakra stands for wheel, so it roughly can be translated as the Tantra about a Time Machine. The distinctive feature of this Tantra in comparison to all other Tibetan Lamaist holy text is its intense focus on politics and its extensive reference to future events. It is in fact a book on how to influence the world politics through practicing Lamaism. Kalachakra Tantra lays groundwork for the Lamaist politics, and only after one has gained some comprehension of the Kalachakra Tantra, he then would have a true understanding of the Lamaism.
