Kirjallisuus

Sonam Tsemo (1142-82) held office as Sakya monastery's 'throne-holder' (Sakya Tridzin) for only three short years before passing it to his younger brother so that he could devote his life to unencumbered study. He never married or fathered children, preferring the life of a retreatant, yet Sonam Tsemo remained a lay practitioner, indicated by his long-sleeved cloak. Revered for his scholasticism as the Sakya's Second Founding Patriarch (Jetsun Gongma Nga), his foundational texts include a commentary on the Bodhicharyavatara by Shantideva, explanations on the final two chapters of the Hevajra root tantra, instructions for reading Sanskrit, and Door to the Dharma, a text giving an overview of all of the Buddha's teachings. 

Muut tiedot

Tibetan Buddhist art integrated previous artistic traditions into a new style which became highly realistic and influential. The spiritual aura radiating from the figure is rendered dynamically by the skillful craftsmanship.
