The Golden Age and Shambhala
The renowned Kalacakra-tantra, the most detailed of Vajrayana literature, speaks about the degenerate age and the coming Golden Age. The Shambhala teachings, said to be the hidden inner teachings of the Kalacakra, envision an enlightened society imbued with harmony, compassion, and warriorship. What are the Shambhala teachings of the Kalacakra, and how do they relate to the terma lineages and visions of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche?
