As we ask you to agree with the Purpose of the IKN as given in our
Memorandum of Intent, please take a moment to read it:
Following
the example of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his role as
leader of all the Tibetan people, the International Kalachakra
Network is non-sectarian, and with equal respect supports
Kalachakra practice within all major traditions of Tibetan
Buddhism, Gelug, Jonang, Kagyu, Nyingma, and Sakya.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is also the vajra master for the
great majority of Kalachakra initiates in the International
Kalachakra Network. Out of our respect for him as leader of
the Tibetan people, as well as our vajra vows to him as our
vajra master, the International Kalachakra Network is committed
to following his advice, and cannot support anything that
is knowingly harmful to him. It is our sincere wish to assist
in his lifelong mission of world peace through Kalachakra.
IKN
MEMORANDUM OF INTENT
With
the deepest respect and admiration for all authentic Kalachakra
lineage masters of the past and present to support world peace
analogous to the Kalachakra tradition, which symbolises a
powerful force for peace in our world and an antidote to war,
the undersigned endorse the following purposes of the International
Kalachakra Network, to sustain the Kalachakra tradition:
-
To provide world-wide, trans-sectarian support for Kalachakra
practice and study in authentic lineages, by acting as a
non-hierarchical communication platform between vajra brothers
and sisters, with the deepest respect for the advice of
fully qualified teachers such as His Holiness the 14th Dalai
Lama.
-
To promote effective and efficient communication and cooperation
between teachers, practitioners, scholars and translators
as well as the Kalachakra Practice Groups and Centres about
teaching programmes, retreats and any other related activities
-
To support emerging Kalachakra Practice Groups and Centres.
-
To
promote the translation, creation and production of practitioner-friendly
Kalachakra texts, commentaries and practice materials.
-
To
preserve and make accessible traditional Kalachakra texts
for practitioners, translators and scholars by creating
and maintaining a catalogue and repository of available
texts.
-
To
safeguard tantric secrecy by ensuring that access to practice
texts is restricted to initiates and practitioners.
-
To
provide basic information to non-initiates in order to avoid
serious misunderstanding of Kalachakra practice, while avoiding
a popular mass-media focus.
-
To
discourage an approach to Kalachakra practice related materials
merely for personal or professional gain.
-
To
protect the purity of individual lineages and to recognize
the value of discussion and friendly, constructive debate
between different commentarial traditions.
