Additions & Updates

I did a quick re-working of the main Sakya Outline Page on the HAR website. To this I added at the bottom, as you already saw, the Sakya Protectors Outline. Linked to that is a new outline page for Panjarnata Mahakala. I still have more work to do on this and I am not sure if I remembered the Five Lineages of Panjaranata accurately. I have a feeling that the Mal Lotsawa and the Rinchen Zangpo lineages are the same which means that I have forgotten one. I can look it up when I am back in New York next week.

Also new to the Sakya Outline Page is the Monasteries & Branch Schools outline . This new page will become more meaningful and develop as I upload all of the images from my various trips to Tibet and hopefully the images that the students also took at the various locations.

Back To New York

After a week on the road visiting art collections in Chicago and Ann Arbor I'm finally heading back to New York in a few hours. Some of the art in these out of the way museums is extremely good, some peices are of historical importance and others are iconographically rare.
