Tsongkhapa wearing the yellow pandita cap with lappets, seated in the center in vajraparyankasana upon a white lotus throne, surrounded by a rainbow halo, the right hand raised in vitarka mudra grasping the end of a lotus stem, the left in the lap holding a vase filled with amrita, a small figure of Buddha Shakyamuni at the heart center.
Provenance: Hungarian private collection.

The upper register and left and right center with a retinue of buddhas, celestial beings, mahasiddhas and lineage holders, at the lower register a retinue of dakinis, wrathful protectors including Panjarnata Mahakala, Yama Dharmaraja, Vajrabhairava, Shadbhuja Mahakala, White Mahakala, Shri Devi and Jambhala, together with the Guardians of the Four Directions and a host of nobles.
The current work depicts the “Stages of the Path” Guru Puja (Tibetan: Lamrim Lama Chopa) Field of Accumulation visualization, with lama Tsongkhapa at center holding an image of Shakyamuni Buddha and a begging bowl, surrounded by lineage teachers, meditational deities and protectors. This painting is a liturgical composition representing the field of accumulation of credit, serving as a visual aid reminding the devotees of the hierarchical importance of the teacher, Buddha, religious texts, and tutelary deities within their religious tradition.
