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.

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.

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.
