Sakya Pandita, Kunga Gyaltsen Pal Zangpo (1182-1251), wearing a tall red hat, the sixth throne holder of Sakya, great grandson of Khon Konchog Gyalpo. Sakya Pandita is accompanied by his nephew Chogyal Pagpa.
"With wide eyes perceiving all things, and compassionately achieving the good of all beings, having power performing acts beyond thought; Guru Manjunata, to your feet I bow my head." (Sakya liturgical verse to Sapan). According to Sakya tradition, Sakya Pandita reached complete enlightenment in the realm of buddha Akshobhya and now resides as the buddha Vimalashri in the eastern direction. Jeff Watt
