Synopsis:
This magnificent Gelugpa Refuge Tree thangka was painted around 1940 by a master artist in Tibet, and it shows Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the founder of the Gelugpa tradition, at the top of the tree, with Vajradhara and Shakyamuni seated inside his heart. Seated on lotuses in rows beneath him are: nine of his disciples; the four main Gelugpa yidam deities; the deities of the four classes of Tantra; the deities of the Sutra traditions; and the main protectors in the bottom row. Directly above Tsongkhapa are the main gurus of the Tantric lineage, and seated amidst clouds to his right and left sides are the extensive Method lineage teachers, and the profound Wisdom lineage teachers. In the upper corners are Maitreya’s paradise of Tushita, and Amitabha’s paradise of Sukhavati; and upon the smaller clouds are ten Indian mahasiddhas, the five manifestations of Tsongkhapa, and five early Kadampa gurus. Around the lower trunk of the tree are the Four Great Kings, Khedrub Je offering a mandala, jewels and auspicious symbols, and the precious symbols of a chakravartin or ‘universal monarch’. |
