The Kālacakratantra: The Chapter on Sādhana together with the Vimalaprabhā Commentary

The American Institute of Buddhist Studies, the Columbia Centerfor Buddhist Studies, and Tibet House US are delighted to present Vesna Wallace’s English translation and Mongolian edition of the fourth chapter of the Abbreviated (Laghu) Kālacakra Tantra (traditionally ascribed to the Buddha) with its famous commentary, the Vimalaprabhā, authored by Pundarīka. The publication of the second chapter of the same work was the first of the Tantric works in our Treasury of the Buddhist Sciences series. It was an auspicious first. In the Tibetan tradition, the Vimalaprabhā is considered so important that it is the first volume in some redactions of the Tengyur portion of the Tibetan Buddhist canon. So here now is another auspicious volume of this key work.
