Our Camp has the best location advantage as it is connected with two main entry roads directly from Vijay Wada and Guntur railway stations. We also have a facility of electricity in our camp and it is set in a secure area, green agricultural surrounding, peaceful atmosphere with a backdrops of small hills. The proximity and approach to the venue is convenient about 02 kms away, only 20 minutes walk from the camp, yet at a good distance from the huge crowds that will converge here.

The venue of Amaravati where H.H.Dalai Lama will give teachings and initiation is a large open field over looking River Krishna where a huge new 90 ft. statue of Lord Buddha in Dhyana Mudra is being made which will be ready just before the Kalachakra event begins and this is just near the original Maha Stupa of Amaravati.

Amaravati is a small rural village which is predominantly Hindu and with a small population of Muslims too. There is a very sacred and an old temple just upon entering the village. On the banks of River Krishna a Hanuman and Sai Baba temple is also there. The people in this region are very simple and friendly who are mostly farmers as well run small shops. During this sacred event a huge temporary township will emerge where many shops and stalls will open up to sell food, vegetables, fruits, local arts and crafts and Tibetans will also display the products. This place will get absolutely bustling where diverse people especially Buddhists will come from as far as Tibet, Ladakh, Zanskar, Spiti, Dharamsala, Mussorie, Sikkim, Darjeeling, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and Japan.

Many high Lamas, monks, nuns, political dignitaries and world personalities will all meet here and get this rare spiritual empowerment.

A brief introduction to the glorious Kalachakra.

Kalachakra is of three types: External Kalachakra, Internal Kalachakra and Alternative Kalachakra. External Kalachakra deals with external world systems such as the movement of the Sun, Moon and other constellations. Internal Kalachakra refers to the internal structure of a human being such as the channels, energies and regenerative fluids. The Alternative Kalachakra refers to the generation and completion stages of the spiritual path of Kalachakra that purify the objects to be purified, which in this context are the external and internal Kalachakra. As a result of such purification you actualize the personal deity, the Glorious Kalachakra, with four faces and twenty-four arms and seven-featured state of union.

Kalachakra was first taught in India on the 15th of the 3rd month, in the year following Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment. At the same time that He was teaching the Perfection of Wisdom on Vulture's Peak near Rajgir, He taught the Kalachakra Root Tantra at Shri Dhanyakataka in South India to a host of pure followers led by Suchandra, the King of Shambala. In Tibet, this teaching was first spread by the translator, Gyi-jo Lotsawa Dawa O-ser 1171 years after the Buddha's passing away, which was the Fire-Rabbit Year of the Tibetan Calendar, according to the Kashmiri Pandit Shakyashri's system of calculation, or 1027 CE.
