Lamdre Lineage Art Sets


Most of the paintings and sculpture depicting individual, or several, Sakya Lamas in one composition are invariably from Lamdre lineage sets. And as all of you will know, it is best when requesting Lamdre to be taught that the host organization also commission a new set of Lineage tangkas (painted or appliqué). At any given time sets of paintings in total number are likely to account for more than half of all Himalayan and Tibetan style art. Needless to say, there are many paintings that belong to Sakya lamdre lineage sets scattered around the world in museum and private collections. I have attempted to put as many of these paintings back together in the Lamdre Lineage Outline Page. There are many more images that I know of but haven't yet been able to acquire the required permissions. There are also Lamdre images waiting to be uploaded onto the HAR website.
