- A Question about HAR #2852 (open access at HAR on Patreon)

On the HAR website there are approximately 27 early Kadam paintings that are dated to the period before the tradition became diffused into the Sakya and Kagyu traditions. There are two paintings of unidentified monastic teachers that are sometimes identified as Atisha, HAR #15638 and #101322. They are not included below because there is not enough information for making a conclusive identification.
