Shakyamuni Buddha (Tibetan: sha kya tu pa, sang gye. English: the Enlightened One of the Shakya Clan).

Seated on the side of the Vulture Peak Mountain, discoursing on the Prajnaparamita sutras, he holds upraised in the right hand a single lotus blossom signifying the ineffable nature of the wisdom of emptiness. Various buddhas, arhats and monks are gathered above and at the sides. At the top center is the personification of wisdom, the deity Parjnaparamita, yellow, with four hands. in the foreground, seated centrally, is the goddess of long-life, White Tara.
