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.

About our Statues
The old copper and bronze statues we carry are made by the "lost wax method," a complex technique 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.

So, just for the record This thangka is a 100% original hand painted with real stone paint on canvas adorned with pure 24k gold! accient Painters make their paints from minerals and herbs in the traditional manner.

A simple exercise:

Look at the close-ups of all the thangkas which we offer and then compare the detail, calrity, colors and iconograpghy depicted by the glut of other online thangkas.

The law of karma is what I abide by, negative energy should not be accumulated hence we try our best to find truth and make no misrepresentations or false claims for any of my listings.

Buddha Shakyamuni:

(Tibetan: sha kya tu pa, sang gye, English: the Enlightened One, Sage of the Shakya Clan)
Our teacher, the Sage of the Shakya clan, was born in India and underwent hundreds of austerities to bring his meditative experience and view to consummation. He was the first in this human world to attain buddhahood and the first promulgator of the tradition of the Buddhist teachings. He is the sublime being who opened our eyes with his enormous compassion and blessings.

The Buddha Shakyamuni, at the moment of enlightenment, invoked the earth as witness, as indicated by the fingers of his right hand, which spread downward in the bhumisparsha mudra, the "gesture of touching the earth." As the Buddhist Sutras relate, the sun and moon stood still, and all the creatures of the world came to offer obeisance to the Supreme One who had broken through the boundaries of egocentric existence. All Buddhist art celebrates this supreme moment and leads the viewer toward the Buddha's experience of selfless and unsurpassed enlightenment. The earliest forms of Buddhist art were semiabstract: bodhi-trees, wheels, stupas, and even the Buddha's stylized footprints served as supports for contemplating what was ultimately beyond words or forms. As the Buddha himself continually taught, it was not he who was continually revered but the possibility he presented. "Don't look to me," he said, "but to the enlightened state."

The first anthropomorphic representations of the Buddha are said to have been drawn on canvas from rays of golden light emanating from his body. Later Buddhist art pictured the Buddha in numerous manifestations, but always as an archetype of human potential, never as a historically identifiable person. All forms of the Buddha, however, are commonly shown seated on a lotus throne, a symbol of the mind's transcendent nature. As a lotus rises from the mud to bloom unsullied in open space, so does the mind rise through the discord of its own experience to blossom in the boundlessness of unconditional awareness.

Buddhism is not a static doctrine, but a creative expression of the interdependent nature of all things. It is a means by which we can discover in the heart of experience, not ourselves, but a luminous and unfolding mystery. Buddhism envisions the universe as a net of jewels, each facet of reality reflecting every other facet. Our calling is not to escape this web of interdependent origination, but to awaken to our indwelling Buddha nature, to see the world for what it is, and to become Buddhas in our own right - beings of infinite awareness and compassion.

"Be a light unto yourself," Buddha Shakyamuni declared at the end of his life. Become a Buddha, an awakened being, he urged, but never a blind follower of tradition. Indeed the image of the Buddha, transcending time and place, centers us in our innermost being.
