Video: Shambhala Kings (MFA Boston)

The MFA Boston collection has twenty-three paintings from this Shambhala set of likely thirty-three paintings which includes the Seven Kings, Twenty-Five Vidyadhara and Shakyamuni Buddha at the center or beginning of the lineage depending on exhibition placement. (See the Atisha Twenty-one Tara set (MFA Boston) and the Suryagupta Twenty-one Tara set (Tibet Museum, Lhasa), both in a Khyenri style painting).
