Paramādibuddhatantra
Paramādibuddhatantra; Sucandra;. In the Kālacakra tradition, the name of the first king of Shambhala, the figure who requested the Buddha to teach the root Kālacakra tantra, the Paramādibuddhatantra. Tradition holds that the Buddha taught this tantra at the Dhānyakaṭaka stūpa, in southern India (near present-day Amarāvatī, Andhra Pradesh); after receiving the teaching, it is said that Sucandra wrote it down and spread it in Sambhala.
The Paramādibuddhatantra also advocates the usage of a lexically syncretized language that would benefit people of all social classes, ethnic groups, and mental dispositions. According to the Paramādibuddhatantra, the Buddha himself expressed this sentiment in the following words:
When one understands the meaning from regional words, what is the use of technical terms?
On the earth, a jewel is called by different names from country to country, but there is no difference in the jewel itself.
Likewise, the various redactors of my pure Dharma use diverse terms in accordance with the dispositions of sentient beings.4
