Notes about the Central Figure
Classification: Person
Appearance: Monastic
Gender: Male
Teacher unidentified. Possibly this is Yudragpa Tsondru Dragpa, Lama Zhang, founder of the Tsalpa Kagyu. Although the shirt signifying a close adherent to the vinaya code of Buddhist monasticism might dispute this suggestion. There appears to be a similarity with the sculpture of Go Lotsawa Zhonnu Pal.
