Images of Lowo Khenchen Sonam Lhundrub & Biography
February 18, 2011 · No Comments
A Biography of Lowo Khenchen Sonam Lhundrub (b.1456/1441 - d.1532/1525), the most famous 16th century Ngorpa teacher of Mustang (Lo Montang), has been uploaded to the website to accompany the images of paintings and sculpture. Almost every major collection of Tibetan sculpture in museum or private hands will have a figure of Lowo Khenchen. After the Five Founding Teachers (Jetsun Gongma Nga) of Sakya and then the founder of Ngor Monastery, Ngorchen Kunga Zangpo - Lowo Khenchen is surely the most common portrait image of a Sakya teacher. The images of Lowo Khenchen on the HAR website do not properly reflect the total number of images that are extant in known collections. More images will be uploaded to the Lowo Khenchen page in the near future.

New Biographies on HAR

The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation has started a new website called the Treasury of Lives
with a mission to translate or paraphrase the biographies of the major
Tibetan Buddhist Teachers. It is still a work in progress. Most of the biographies from this site will likely not have any corresponding image other than possibly a block print depiction.
Where there is art, and it is catalogued on the HAR website, we will then copy the biography (if there isn't already a bio) from the Treasury of Lives site and add it to the HAR site, linked and illustrated. We have already copied a few of these bios over to the Himalayan Art Resources website and added corresponding links and illustrations.
New Biographies:
Drogmi Lotsawa Shakya Yeshe
Dzongsar Kyentse Jamyang Chokyi Lodro
Kedrub Kyungpo Naljor
Tashi Paltseg
Sangdag Namka Palzang
