> Le tantra de kalachakra est avec son commentaire vimalaprabha (lumière immaculée est le principal support de l'enseignement kalachakra du bouddhisme tibétain. C'est un texte particulièrement important dans la tradition gelugpa, connu aussi chez les sakyapa et les kagyupa ; le kalachakra était l'enseignement tantrique principal de l'école jonang.
Le tantra et son commentaire sont la source première du mythe de Shambhala, royaume idéal que seuls certains peuvent atteindre. On y relate, entre autres, comment un roi de Shambhala apparaîtra dans le monde pour combattre les barbares et établir un âge d'or.
Le tantra a exercé une grande influence sur la cosmologie et le calendrier tibétain.
