A Guide to the Kalachakra Empowerment by Tony Duff:
The PDF file here contains a summation of the Kalachakra empowerment text by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye. The summary was written
so that anyone taking the empowerment could easily follow and fully participate in the empowerment. The text includes an overview
of how the Kalachakra lineages came into Tibet and coalesced in Jamgon Kongtrul the Great. The text also includes the specific
mandala offering made repeatedly through the empowerment, again so that anyone taking the empowerment could easily follow. This is
the empowerment text and lineage usually presented in the Kagyu these days. Nonetheless, the steps of the empowerment are common
to all Kalachakra lineages so the text will be useful for anyone taking the empowerment in other lineages, for example with the Dalai
Lama.

The Daily Practice of Co-emergent Bhagavat Kalachakra, Text by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, Translation by Tony Duff:
The PDF file here contains the daily practice text of single-deity Kalachakra written by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye. The Tibetan text
is included after the translation. This would be the text recommended for the daily practice of Kalachakra for anyone who has received
the empowerment from a Kagyu guru such as H.E. Beru Khyentse Rinpoche, Tenga Rinpoche, Kalu Rinpoche, and so on. However, it could be
used by anyone who has had the empowerment as the way of doing the daily practice. Includes Tibetan text.
