Kalachakra/Garuda hanging...The kalachakra is a complex and multi-dimensional symbol of Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism that means 'time wheel' or 'time-cycles'.It refers both to a Tantric deity (yidam) of Vajrayana Buddhism and to the philosophies and meditation practices contained within the Kalachakra Tantra and its many commentaries.Basically the symbolism[from top to bottom] relates to: bindu - moon,visarga - sun,nāda - space,i - wind.ṛi - fire,u - water,ḷi - earth,ma - inanimate,kṣa - animate,ha - formless realm...However the symbolism also relates to physical parts of the body,the chakras of the spirit body,reality awareness,Tibetan deities,the yogas of bliss and awareness,and the nature of enlightenment.The phrase "as it is outside, so it is within the body" is often found in the Kalachakra tantra to emphasize the similarities and correspondence between human beings and the cosmos.Since Kalachakra is time and everything is under the influence of time, Kalachakra knows all.The present Dalai Lama has given over thirty Kalachakra initiations all over the world, and is the most prominent Kalachakra lineage holder alive today.....On the reverse side can be seen the garuda,the servant of Yama.....
