Karma Kagyu refuge tree
Hello! Does anyone have a Karma Kagyu refuge tree poster where they would write the names of the deities in each of the specific deities ? I seen some of them but most are in Tibetan which I am not familiar with. I feel more familiar with the sanskrit names of them , so if anyone does have it, please do post it here. Thanks!

There's detailed explanations of all the figures.
Incidentally, this is the earliest Refuge Tree painting known.

Re: Karma Kagyu refuge tree
That's Paljor Dondrub, the first Gyaltsap Rinpoche. If I recall correctly, he had a "sun shade" (sunglasses?)---other images of him have a different depiction.......
I can't recall when or where I heard about this, but I'm searching now.

Re: Karma Kagyu refuge tree
This is very good refuge tree, even you can choose one, then click and it will show you descriptions,.I do not know if you can choose everyone, but mostly yes,.I think section of bodhisattva there is no description, and also up on the left and right do not show description

Mistakenly? How did that happen?

Re: Karma Kagyu refuge tree
I started off in Hong Kong with a friend of mine and then took a three day boat to Shanghai. During the trip I met some western students (women) studying in China. One of them was studying Tibetan Language and culture in Chengdu. I had no idea about Tibet. She said you have to visit here and here and there... She sent me to the eastern holy mountain Putuoshan, the western holy mountain Emeishan and up onto the Tibetan plateau to the Labrang monastary in Xiahe. I had no f*ckin' idea where I was going, but I had an awesome time going there!

Re: Karma Kagyu refuge tree
Btw when I was reading the Torch of Certainty, it says the left hand branch sits countless bodhisattvas, shravakas and pratyekabuddhas of the Mahayana and Hinayana Sangha. Then it includes the lord of three families and the rest of the Buddha’s eight sons. Also it includes the Bodhisattvas of fortunate kalpas, The Buddha’s excellent pair of disciples , ananda, the sixteen elders and the rest. Also there are like a few more yidams described at the eastern branch, which are not seen in the thangka painting...heart wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 7:48 amIt is because an other thangka painter painted it.

But... I don’t see the 16 elders and the countless bodhisattvas , shravakas and pratyekabuddhas as depicted in the sangha. Also , I don’t see the “additional” yidams as described in torch of certainty in the thangka painting.
Oh yes btw I’m talking about the thangka painting I shared.
Can anyone help my confused mind? Thanks a ton!
