Vesna A. Wallace's The Inner Kalacakratantra, A Buddhist Tantric View of the Individual, published by Oxford University Press in 2001, is a scholarly study of how the Kalacakratantra, a major Buddhist tantric text, understands the human individual in relation to cosmology and practice. Wallace is a specialist scholar of Tibetan Buddhist tantra, and the book rests on standard university press peer review and her direct translation work with the Sanskrit and Tibetan sources. It is an academic interpretive study of a complex tantric system, and as with any specialist tantric scholarship, its reading is one informed scholarly perspective among specialists who continue to debate points of interpretation.
