sorry, I don't mean to stir up conflict in my mentions, I just see that this source is much more comprehensive and critical than most of what I'm finding, but on the other hand very one sided. so I want to see what buddhists think about the authors.

Replying to @suchaone @literalbanana
They have an axe to grind and their presentation is one-sided as a consequence. OTOH, they do point out a lot of issues that are genuine and important and deliberately evaded by most sources. Their discussions are mostly factually accurate, but lack balancing considerations.

I don’t know Kalachakra from the inside; I’ve read only academic explanations. So I can’t speak from experience about it as a possible path. I can say it doesn’t appeal to me personally, for reasons quite different from those the Trimondis adduce.

I don’t know anyone who has actually practiced it. In fact, I don’t think I’ve even read of any Westerner who has. It’s easy to “get the initiation,” which means sitting through three days of monks reading a text out loud in unison in a language you don’t understand.

I've tried listening to some russian videos about it, and it seems to be popular among their theosophers and occultists. they do seem to have some inner understanding of it, but it's too much for me to untangle.

this guy seems to know more than "be calm n nice lol", but it's very hard to figure out who's an authority and who's a quack in these circleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBfqraGndG8 …

From reading just the youtube description, this is mostly Theosophy (Alice Bailey). Theosophy appropriated “esoteric teachings” from everywhere and misinterpreted them as versions of its own story. I would expect this to be an extremely distorted presentation of Kalachakra.

Ugh, and Alice Bailey was the worst of them by a large margin
