  • Sacred Arts of Tibet-Sand Mandala
    Sacred Arts of Tibet-Sand Mandala From Drepung Loseling Phukhang Khangtsen, South India Five Monks On Tour in North America Sept 15th – 30th December, 2010 Drepung Loseling Phukhang Khangtsen 2010 North American Tour A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR MONASTERY: The Drepung Loseling Phukhang Khangsten was founded by the Venerable Tsangtso Samten in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet, approximately 500 years ago. It thrived as one of the largest Khangtsen (sub-monasteries) of the majestic Drepung Loseling Monastery. It was home to over 12,000 monks in its heyday. This great center of learning suffered a major setback when Communist China first occupied Tibet in the year 1959. Many of their buildings -- their homes, libraries, sacred temples and universities -- were destroyed. Their people, both Tibetan citizens and monastics, were attacked by the invading army, but the spirit and the heart of its people remained strong. In 1976, through much dedication and hard work, this Khangtsen was re-established in Mundgod, Karnataka State, in Southern India under the guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in exile. THE MONASTERY TODAY: The Drepung Loseling Phukhang Khangtsen, currently home to around 300 monks, is headed by the Venerable Sharpa Choje Rinpoche, the second highest lama in the Gelugpa sect, after the famous and Venerable Gadhen Tri Rinpoche. Over the years, the newly established Drepung Loseling Phukhang Khangtsen has matured into a fully-fledged, recognized and reputed Khangtsen. It continues to play a vital role in the preservation of Mahayana Buddhist Philosophy. In fact, this monastery continues to be responsible for producing hundreds of renowned scholars in the field of Mahayana Buddhism.

Back to Exhibition Index Eight Manifestations of Padmasambhava (Image) Thangka, painting Cotton support with opaque mineral pigments in waterbased (collagen) binder exterior 27.5 x 49.75 inches interior 23.5 x 34.25 inches Ca. 19th century Folk tradition Museum #: 93.011 By Ariana P. Maki 2 June, 1998 Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, Padmakara, or Tsokey Dorje, was the guru predicted by the Buddha Shakyamuni to bring the Buddhist Dharma to Tibet. In the land of Uddiyana, King Indrabhuti had undergone many trials, including the loss of his young son and a widespread famine in his kingdom. The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara felt compassion for the king, and entreated the Buddha Amitabha, pictured directly above Padmasambhava, to help him. From his tongue, Amitabha emanated a light ray into the lake of Kosha, and a lotus grew, upon which sat an eight year old boy. The boy was taken into the kingdom of Uddiyana as the son of King Indrabhuti and named Padmasambhava, or Lotus Born One. Padmasambhava grew up to make realizations about the unsatisfactory nature of existence, which led to his renunciation of both kingdom and family in order to teach the Dharma to those entangled in samsara. Over the years, as he taught, other names were bestowed upon him in specific circumstances to represent his realization of a particular aspect of Buddhism. This thangka depicts Padmasambhava, in a form also called Tsokey Dorje, as a great guru and Buddha in the land of Tibet.

  • Introductory Notes on the Relationship Between Buddhist and Hindu Yogas
    Sean Feit Oakes, PhD | SeanFeitOakes.com | 2017 Introductory Notes on the Relationship Between Buddhist and Hindu Yogas Sean Feit Oakes, PhD One of the many ways Insight Meditation (IM) has evolved away from its roots in Southeast Asian Theravāda Buddhism is in its embrace of yoga as a valuable adjunct to the vipassanā that forms the heart of its practice system. The yoga most common in the West, known by some scholars as “Modern Postural Yoga” (MPY) to highlight both its physical emphasis and its recent provenance, is a substantial part of the practice regimen of many IM practitioners, but holds an ambiguous role in the formal system of IM practice.1 Yoga, most often in a gentle style of posture (āsana) practice, is offered both in classes and via dedicated space for practice, at many IM centers, but is rarely spoken of in dharma talks, included in the progression of instructions that forms the basis of retreat practice, or included in the collection of primarily Buddhist doctrines that are emphasized and repeated. The reasons for this ambiguity are historical and doctrinal, reflecting the cultural identity of modern practitioners as much as the imagined historical separation of the traditions. Materials from historically more distant traditions, after all, like poems from Rumi, Mary Oliver, or T.S. Eliot, bring Muslim and Christian influences into the room, but are commonly used. Another commonly used source, Japanese Zen, while seemingly related to Theravāda by its Buddhist-ness, is historically and in some ways doctrinally just as distant from Theravāda as most forms of modern Hinduism.
