The Five Dhyana Buddhas
According to one source Zanabazar created the five Dhyana Buddhas in 1683, probably at his workshop and meditation retreat at Tovkhon Khiid. All five of the statues are 28 inches (72cm) high, on a base 18 inches (46 cm) high. The hand position (mudras) and ornamentation differ on each one. Four of the statues are now in the Zanabazar Art Museum; Ratnasambhava is in the Choijin Lama Museum. |
