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 White Tara 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!
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.
White
Tara:
Tara or Arya Tara, also
known as Jetsun Dolma, is a female Bodhisattva typically
associated with Tibetan Buddhism. She is the "mother
of liberation", and represents the virtues of success
in work and achievements.
The word Tara itself
is derived from the root 'tri' (to cross), hence the implied
meaning:' the one who enables living beings to cross the
Ocean of Existence and Suffering'. Her compassion for living
beings, her desire to save them from suffering, is said
to be even stronger than a mother's love for her children.
The story of Tara's
origin, according to the Tara Tantra, recounts that aeons
ago she was born as a king's daughter. A spiritual and compassionate
princess, she regularly gave offerings and prayers to the
ordained monks and nuns. She thus developed great merit,
and the monks told her that, because of her spiritual attainments,
they would pray that she be reborn as a man and spread Buddhist
teachings. She responded that there was no male and no female,
that nothing existed in reality, and that she wished to
remain in female form to serve other beings until everyone
reached enlightenment, hence implying the shortfall in the
monk's knowledge in presuming only male preachers for the
Buddhist religion. Thus Tara might be considered one of
the earliest feminists.
Another legend of Tara
is that she was born from the compassionate tears of Avalokiteshvara
(The Buddha of compassion)：
Homage! Tara, swift,
heroic! With a glance like flashing
lightning, born from a blooming lotus sprung from the tears
on
the face of the Lord of the World!"
... Chapter III, Tara
Tantra
The above verse refers
to the legend of Tara's origin. Avalokiteshvara was looking
down from his heaven on the world of suffering beings, and
he wept to see that more and more of them were in pain.
From the tears streaming down his face two Taras were born,
a peaceful white one from the left and a fierce green one
from the right. Tara is thus also often referred to as Avalokiteshvara's
consort.
In a historical sense,
Tara is associated with the two pious and virtuous wives
of Tibet's first great religious king, Songsten Gambo (d.
649). White Tara is associated with his wife from imperial
China, Wen Cheng, and Green Tara is identified with Bhrkuti,
his Nepalese wife.
White Tara is often
referred to as the Mother of all the Buddhas. She represents
the motherly aspect of compassion. Her white colour indicates
purity, but also indicates that she is Truth, complete and
undifferentiated.
She has seven eyes: the two usual eyes, plus an eye in the
centre of her forehead and eyes in each of her hands and
feet. These indicate that she sees all suffering and all
cries for help in the human world using both ordinary and
psychic or extraordinary means of perception. They thus
symbolize the vigilance of her compassion.
White Tara has a lovely, young face. Her ornaments are covered
in jewels. Her silk robes and scarves are painted in an
exceptionally lively manner. Her tight fitting garments
are embossed with large, rich floral designs. These filmy
garments; bright gauzy silks fluttering from the shoulders
and a series of many hued silken skirts- leave the slender
torso and smoothly rounded breasts uncovered in the manner
of ancient India. The whole effect is so ravishing that
she might well arouse the very passion she is frequently
invoked to calm, were it not that she inspires the kind
of exalted reverence a palace guard might be expected to
feel for a young and lovely princess entrusted to his care.
With her right hand she makes the boon granting gesture
and her left hand, holding the stem of a white lotus flower
between her thumb and fourth finger, is in the protection
position.
The elaborate lotus flower, held in the left hand is called
Utpala. It contains three blooms: the first, with seeds,
symbolizes the past Buddha Kashyapa; the second in full
flower, symbolizes the present Buddha Shakyamuni; and the
third, ready to bloom, symbolizes the future Buddhas Maitreya.
This signifies that White Tara is the essence of all the
three Buddhas of the past, the present and the future.
She sits with both legs raised and crossed in the vajra
(diamond) position and regally displays both grace and calm.
Her incomparable beauty have inspired her worshippers to
address her thus:
"Radiant as the eternal snows in all their glory, homage
to the Youthful One with full breasts, One face and two
arms. And is
filled with great bliss"
White Tara is an emanation of Tara who is connected with
longevity. She is also the special goddess who helps her
devotees overcome obstacles, particularly impediments to
the practice of religion.
