Kalachakra Vajra Dharma (Tantra): Primary dharma of the Jonang Sect and the highest dharma of the Geluk Sect. Taught by other sects as well. Shakyamuni Buddha transmitted the Kalachakra Dharma to the Shambala Kings who, in turn, transmitted it to the Indian Kalachakrapada in the tenth century and later to Master Tsongkhapa (14th century). Somantha, the Kashmiri Kalachakra master, transmitted it to the Tibetan translator Dro Lotsawa Sherab Drak and another Tibetan disciple, Yumo Mikyo Dorje (1027-??). Literally means cycles of time.
