Avalokiteshvara Tigle Chu Drug - Added

The meditation practice and mandala of the Tigle Chu Drug contains sixteen levels of deities and teachers progressing from the inside to the outside. The central figure is Avalokiteshvara. Believed by some to have originated with the Kadampa Tradition of Jowo Atisha, this system of practice remains controversial with many scholars considering it to be a mandala and meditation practice of Tibetan origin. Regardless of the controversy, the art associated with the Tigle Chu Drug is unique in composition and design.
