From December 31, 2011 to January 10, 2012, His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave teachings and the Kalachakra initiation to over 300,000 people in Bodhgaya, India. High lamas, Sangha and students traveled from around the world to attend this event, which empowers them to practice the yoga of Kalachakra tantra. Mandala received five distinct reports from students on and around the teaching grounds in Bodhgaya. Their stories cover the initiation itself, the environmental impact of such a large gathering, plus some of the charitable work happening around the event and at ongoing projects in Bodhgaya. In addition, we have compiled a photo gallery illustrating moments during this special time as seen though many different sets of eyes. From Mandala April-June 2012.
