The Kalachakra teachings urge us to go beyond the superficial layer of our ordinary experience. Instead of getting lost in the endless busyness of worldly existence, we can focus our energy inward and actively develop the karmic propensities that ensure our future lives are filled with happiness and not with suffering. . . . Through the practice of Kalachakra, you strengthen your connection to the principles of Shambhala and create the causes to experience greater peace and harmony both now and in the future. How much of Shambhala manifest is only limited by the effort you make to cultivate its causes.

-- Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche
