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.

Old Tibetan Monastery
Brocade Yellow Jambhala 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 Sha-lu
Monastery, Tibet, Still in Good Condition! Sha-lu
Monastery Sha-lu
Monastery in the southeast of Xigaze was first built in
1087 during the Song Dynasty. Sha-lu means tender leaf,
perhaps containing the meaning of the rejuvenation of Buddhism.
The original monastery was destroyed by earthquake, but
was rebuilt at the end of the 1athcentury during the Yuan
Dynasty.
In the center of the ground floor
is the main hall Sha-lu La-kang. It is a square, large scripture
hall, the flat-top of the center part protruding. Light
streams in through the skylight between the high and low
flat-tops. This layout was later called the "Du-khang
method", and was commonly used by the Ming and Qing
dynasties. The left, right and back sides of the scripture
hall are closely encircled by several Buddhist halls, and
a ring of winding corridors are added to the outer side.
Monks can take a right-hand walk and chant scripture in
the corridor.
The second floor is a siheyuan (courtyard
with houses on all sides)encircled by four purely Han-style
halls. According to ancient Tibetan documents, when the
Sha-lu Lakang was built, many skilled Han craftsmen were
invited, therefore forming an early Tibetan/Han mixed style.
In the early 15th century (early
Ming Dynasty), the eminent monk TSongkhapa from Qinghai
introduced religious reform in Tibet and created the Gelug-pa
or Yellow Hat sect It eventually gained the upper hand not
only in religion, but also in politics. He constructed six
famous major temples of the Yellow Hats, which are also
the largest temples of Tibetan Buddhism, Such as the Lhasa
Ganden Monastery (14O9), Bras-spungs Monastery (1416), Sara
Monastery (1419), Tashilungpo in Xigaze(1447), Tar Monastery
in HuangZhong of Qinghai (156O), and Blabrang Monastery
in Xiahe of Gansu (1709). They were all built at the foot
of mountains, represented by Blabrang Monastery.
