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.

Old Tibetan Monastery
Brocade Buddha Shakyamuni 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 Tar
Monastery,
Tibet, Still in Good Condition! Tar Monastery
The Tar Monastery,
which means "Holy Place for the 100,000-Body Maitreya
buddha," is located in the Lotus Flower Mountain south
of Lusha'er town. Huangzhong County, Qinghai Province. The
monastery, 26 km away from Xining, the provincial capital.
Zongkapa, founder of the Gelug (Yellow) Sect of Tibetan
Buddhism, was born in the place where the Tar Monastery
is located. The 3rd Dalai Lama Soinam Gyamco initiated construction
of the monastery in Zongkapa's honor. Gradually, it became
the mecca for Buddhists of Tibetan, Mongolian and Tu ethnic
groups. And the 4th, 5th, 7th, 13th and 14th Dalai Lamas
as well as the 6th, 9th and 10th Panchen Erdenis once lived
there.
During its heyday, the Tar Monastery had as many as 70 Living
Buddhas and 3,600 monks. Many of them were appointed Hutugto
Living buddhas by the Qing (1644-1911) imperial court.
Due to its size and influence, the Tar Monastery emerged
as one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug Sect.
Thangka and Frescoes in the Tar Monastery are rich in content
and elegant in style. Debating Buddhist Scriptures, Portrait
of Six-Way Samsara and Fresco of Kalachakra ,Shkyamuni,Taras
re considered the most representative. The frescoes are
all painted with yellow, red and blue colors to highlight
the themes.
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.
