This very detailed thangka shows the refuge tree of the Tibetan Buddhist Sakyapa lineage with Buddha Vajradhara in the center.
Rising out of the cosmic waters with the world mountain Sumeru, the tree, which is in blossom, is guarded by a lot of protectors of the Teaching [lowest row], which belongs to the Kagyupa Pantheon.
The Kagyu school [11th century] is one of four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, the others are the Nyingma [8th century], Sakya [1073], and Gelug [1409].
The painting shoes four sections of saints, Buddhas and goddesses:
1. Lamas of Kagyu lineage |
2. Lamas of other lineages |
3. Yidams and |
4. Dakinis |
