Images of Lowo Khenchen Sonam Lhundrub & Biography
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.
