________________ Buddhist studies 1984-1990 (J. W. de Jong) guage in the mysticism of tantric Buddhism which I have not been able to consult. The Kalacakra has been studied by John R. Newman who contributed a brief history of the Kalacakra to a volume called The Wheel of Time. The same volume includes two articles by Roger Jackson and two by Geshe Lhundub Sopa. As No. 1 of the Kalacakra Research Publications. David Reigle published a paper on "The Lost Kalacakra Múla Tantra on the Kings of Sambhala". According to a prefatory note he is engaged in a critical edition of the Vimalaprabha, the great Kalacakra commentary. The most important work on the Kalacakra is John Newman's Ph.D. thesis: The Outer Wheel of Time: Vajrayana Buddhist Cosmology in the Kalacakra which comprises a long introduction including a history of the Kalacakra in India, a detailed survey of previous study of the Kalacakra and a translation from the Sanskrit and the Tibetan of Śri Kalacakra I. 1-27, 128-170 and Vimalaprabha I. 1.1-9, 28, 10.128-149. Newman discusses in some detail Banerjee's edition of the Sri Kalacakra (pp. 175-179) and briefly notes Jagannatha Upadhyaya's edition of the Śrī Kālacakra and the Vimalaprabha (p. 211). of In 1927 Haraprasad Shastri published twenty-one works Advayavajra under the title Advayavajrasamgraha. A group of scholars belonging to the Institute for Comprehensive studies of Buddhism at the Taisho. University has undertaken a critical edition and Japanese translation of the Advayavajrasamgraha. The same group has also published the Sanskrit text and a Japanese translation of the Vajradhātumahamaṇḍalopäyika-Sarvavajrodaya. Hindu Saktism has been incorporated into Buddhist Tantrism. Therefore it is probably useful to also mention here Marion Meisig's critical edition, translation and glossary of the Mahäcinäcära-Tantra. Meisig has consulted no less than eighteen manuscripts. His work is a very important contribution to the study of Śaktism. 15. Fascicles four and five of the Sanskrit-Wörterbuch der buddhisti (23)
