The Fifth
King Ngawang Losang Gyatso (1617-1682) was the
first to effectively combine spiritual and secular
rulership of Tibet. Among his many achievements,
Ngawang Losang Gyatso united three provinces
of Tibet in 1642, for first time since mid-ninth
century .
Ngawang Losang Gyatso had a profound influence
on the role that the Kings would play as leaders
of the Tibetan people. He emphasized connection
between the King and Avalokitesvara especially
in his rebuilding of the Potala. The Potala
is named after a mountain in India, “Lord of
the World” which is considered to be the divine
palace of Avalokitesvara. This emphasis helped
establish the notion that the Kings were indeed
incarnations of the Avalokitesvara.
When Ngawang
Losang Gyatso came to power, he established laws,
appointed governors and ministers, and formed an
entire government. He even established a national
dress system of uniforms for officials. He sent
representatives to the border towns of Kham and
areas in central Tibet to reduce heavy taxes, resolve
feuding, establish monasteries, and resettle abandoned
areas. Shakabpa points this out as a demonstration
of Ngawang Losang Gyatso ’s political and religious
leadership.
Another spectacular achievement ofNgawang Losang
Gyatso is the incredible buildings he had constructed.
He founded the great Labrang monastery in Kham and
he built other monasteries dominating hilltops rather
than hidden among mountains and hills as had been
traditionally done. The most outstanding of these
structures is the the Potala Palace which looks
over Lhasa (Snellgrove and Richardson 199).
Ngawang Losang Gyatso also wrote more literature
than all other Kings combined . Such works included
a commentary on the Abhidharmakosa (“Treasury of
Philosophical Notions”), rhetoric and astrology,
a treatise on monastic discipline, guide to Jo-lehang,
a history of Tibet, and a book about the composition
of poetry.

that requires hand sculpting and meticulous attention
to detail. The craftsmanship involved in the creative
process helps imbue the pieces with the essential
qualities of Buddhist practice. The old thangkas
are hand painted individually and are all unique
pieces of artwork. We recently have added Tibetan
deities statue to our selection. Wooden Quan Yin
statues carved in China, meanwhile, we also carried
bracelets, pendant and necklace which are made of
natural material in traditional way by Tibetan and
Nepalese handicraftsman.

Old Tibetan Monastery 4 Arms Manjushri Thangka
On many occasions we get asked
if our works are prints given their high quality and detail
like no other offered. So, just for the record J This thangka
is a 100% original hand painted with real stone paint on
canvas adorned with pure 24k gold!
This excellent
Thangka is gathered from a Lama in Jokhang Monastery, Tibet, Still
in Good Condition!
Jokhang
Temple is the spiritual center of Tibet. Everyday, pilgrims
from every corner of Tibet trek a long distance to the temple.
Some of them progress by prostrating themselves throughout
their journey until they reach the threshold of the temple.
Pilgrims kindle butter lamps with yak butter, or honor the
deities with white scarves (Kha-btags or Hada) while murmuring
sacred mantras to show their pieties to the Buddha.
The temple lies at the
center of the old Lhasa. Built in 647 by Songtsen Gampo
and his two foreign wives, it has a history of more than
1,300 years. It was said that the Nepalese Princess Tritsun
wanted to build a temple to house the image of Jowo Sakyamuni
brought by Chinese Princess Wencheng. Princess Wencheng
reckoned according to Chinese astrology that the temple
should be built on the pool where the Jokhang is now located.
She contended that the pool was a witch's heart, so the
temple should be built on the pool to get rid of evils.
The pool still exists under the temple.
The construction took
12 months. However, the original structure was small. Large
scale reconstruction and renovation took place under the
reign of the Fifth Dalai Lama.
The temple is the product
of Han, Tibetan and Nepalese architectural techniques. Visitors
will be treated to the sight of various exotic and sacred
sculptures. It also houses many invaluable cultural relics.
The most famous and valuable of these is the sculpture of
Jowo Sakyamuni aged 12. It is one of the very few sculptures
of its kind making it even more precious. The image is flanked
on both sides by the altars of Songtsen Gampo and his two
wives who introduced Buddhism into Tibet.
The murals in the main
hall depicting the procession of Princess Wencheng arriving
in Tibet and other murals depicting Jataka stories are also
worth seeing. Two thangkas portraying Yamantaka and Chakrasamvara
from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) still remain in perfect
condition. The gold bumpa (a vase) upon which the reincarnations
of Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama are decided, musical instruments
brought into Tibet by Wencheng and other important artifacts
are also kept here.
Every year, the Great
Prayer Festival is held in the Temple. Initiation rites
into lamahood of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lamas are also
held in this monastery.
Manjushri:
Manjushri (Tibetan:
jam pal yang. English: The Glorious One with a Melodious
Voice).The bodhisattva that represents the wisdom of all
the buddhas of the ten directions and three times. Manjushri
has one face and two hands held to the heart in the Dharma
Teaching gesture (mudra) delicately holding the stems of
two lotus flowers blossoming at each ear. The blossom on
his right supports the flaming sword of wisdom and the left
supports the Prajnaparamita Sutra. Very peaceful and smiling,
he is adorned with a crown, jewel and gold ornaments and
variously coloured silk garments, seated in vajra posture
above a moon disc, multi-coloured lotus.
