Kalachakra Mandala - "Wheel of Time" - Feb 3




The Mandala of Enlightened Great Bliss, where Kalachakra and his consort Vishvamata reside, is seen within The Mandala of Enlightened Wisdom represented by sixteen squares that surround the central lotus.  The inverted black “T” is the Eastern entrance to The Mandala of Enlightened Mind.  The initiate enters the mandala through the Eastern Gate.  On ether side of the white Northern Gate are two black elephants; above them helping to support the beams of the Northern Gate are two strong men.  The strong men represent the union of empty form and immutable bliss.
