Boston: Wisdom Publications, 1991. 511 Pages. The covers are stiff boards with flaps. This is a 1991 Reprint of the Second Revised 1989 Edition. First published in 1985. There is some moisture exposure at the top of the first 79 pages and a very small exposure to the top of the three finnal pages. The color plates beginning on page 80 are not affected. This exposure is limited to a light rippling of top of the pages. There are no stains or sticking pages. Beyond this are clean white tight pages. This book is concerned with a rite of initiation for the Kalachakra (Wheel of Time) Tantra, a Buddhist tantra of the Highest Yoga Tantra class. It presents the series of initiations authorizing practice of the first of two stages involved in the tantra, the stage of generation - the period of imaginative appearance as an ideal being. A system of daily practice required of those who have received initiation is also included. Discussed is the process of preparing the student for initiation and the actual stages of the seven initiations that authorize practice of visualization of a practitioner as a deity - or ideal, altruistically active being - in a mandala, an ideal environment. This is the first time that a tantric initiation ritual has been explained in detail in a Western language. The initiation ritual is translated, interspersed with commentary from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, temporal and spiritual leader of Tibet, mainly from a ceremony conducted in Wisconsin in 1981. The Kalachakra initiation was offered for the first time in the West by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during July of 1981 (the year of the Iron Bird) at Deer Park, a small rural site outside of Madison, Wisconsin, that is the home of a Tibetan Buddhist monastery and temple. The initiation was organized and sponsored by the Deer Park Buddhist Center and friends, a Buddhist organization under the direction of the Venerable Geshe Sopa. . 1991 Reprint. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".
