Kālacakra 

When this website was first established a few years ago the use of Unicode for the representation of extended character sets was far from widely adopted. It was therefore decided not to use such characters on this website. However, the accurate representation of Sanskrit terminology and the Sanskrit vowels and consonants that are so important in Kālacakra symbolism require the use of various diacritic markings that are not in standard character sets.

The situation is now very different, and most modern operating systems and web browsers support Unicode well. The content of this website is now therefore in the process of being edited to include all necessary characters. If your web browser does not display these properly - such as the long "a" with a bar over it, as in the word Kālacakra - then it might be worth upgrading to a modern browser such as Mozilla Firefox. It might also be necessary to install the "Arial Unicode MS" font. This used to be available for download from Microsoft's website, but is unfortunately now only distributed by Microsoft with Office. An alternative font is "Times Extended Roman", available here: thdl.org. Also, see this link for a Russian translation of this website.

"All beings arise in time, Time continually consumes them all, Time is the Lord who possesses the vajra, Whose nature is that of day and night."
