Choggyur Lingpa Lineage Refuge Field

This is surely an unusual Refuge Field. It contains elements of both Nyingma and Karma Kagyu Traditions. Probably the most interesting visual element is the line of lineage teachers extending above the head of Vajradhara. This feature follows the Refuge Field description according to the 9th Karmapa and later the commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul. The image has not yet been added to the HAR database.
