Kalachakra has an extremely important position in Tibetan Buddhism.

SYMBOLISM

Kalachakra represents the "outer wheel of time", "inner wheel of time" and "other wheel of time":

- **Outer Wheel of Time**: refers to the laws governing the operation of the universe, including the movement of celestial bodies and the flow of time.

- **Inner Wheel of Time**: refers to the physiological operations of the human body, such as the flow of pulse and breath, and the movement of life energy.

- **The Wheel of Time**: refers to the process and results of practice, which ultimately leads to enlightenment through initiation and practice.

In addition, Kalachakra is closely related to the concept of the pure land of Shambhala. Believers believe that by practicing the Kalachakra method, they can be reborn in Shambhala and gain ultimate wisdom and liberation.
