the Kalacakra teachings. Don't stop at the surface, dig further, don't buy
all the spiritual interpretations of the symbolism.
Does spirituality really need such a heavy infrastructure to be passed on?

These days very few Tibetans even monks have anything but a vague
notion of the Kalacakra teachings, doctrines, myth & symbology. They
go along and take the 'initiation' when the Dalai Lama gives it for the 
'blessings' and because these occasions are for them major cultural &
group events.

The symbolism and myth (at least in written form) is probably far
more available to western followers of Tibetan Buddhism through
all the books websites and so on on the subject in the English
language.
