Sakyapa Refuge Tree
Once the succession of Tibetan Gurus and disciples had reached significant proportions, it became popular custom to represent such spiritual genealogies in the form of a cosmic tree uniting all the saints, buddhas and deities of the order concerned.
This thangka shows the refuge tree of the Tibetan Buddhist Sakyapa lineage with the historical Buddha Shakyamuni 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 Sakyapa Pantheon.
The painting shows four sections of saints, Buddhas and goddesses:
| 1. Lamas of Sakyapa Linie |
| 2. Lamas of anderer Linien |
| 3. Yidams und |
| 4. Dakinis |
