Dechengalapa temple in Gandan complex

The Kalachakra Tantric Institute, Dechengalapa Tempel, Gandan Monastery.
The word Kalachakra means “Cycle of Time”. The Kalachakra Tantra is a profound Buddhist system of teaching and practise which encompasses three aspects. The original teaching comes from Tibet and is taught in this building to Mongolian students of llama buddhism.
The Kalachakra Tantra has particular relevance for our world system. The Tantra was taught by the Buddha in India two and half thousand years ago at the request of the King of Shambala. Shambala is a place variously viewed as having been an actual historical kingdom which existed beyond the Himalaya, or as a pure land existing on another planet not generally accessible but nonetheless strongly connected to our world. Predictions concerning Shambala have particular relevance to world events of today, being especially concerned with peace on this planet, and can also be compared with the predictive literature of other religions.
