Shadaksari Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan: yig ge drug pa chen re zi. English: the Six Syllable All Seeing Lord) with the two attendant deities Manidhara and Shadaksari Mahavidya."Unsullied by faults, a body white of colour, with the perfect buddha adorning the head, seeing beings with the eye of compassion; homage to Avalokiteshvara." (Sakya Liturgical Verse).Along the top are the five buddhas representing the Five Families of Anuttarayoga Tantra. Seated from the left are buddha Vairochana, white in colour, with the hands performing the mudra of teaching; followed by Akshobhya, blue, with the right hand in earth touching mudra; Amitabha, red, hands in meditation; Ratnasambhava, yellow, right hand in the mudra of generosity; and finally Amoghasiddhi, green, with right in the mudra of fearlessness at the heart. The remaining left hands are placed in the lap. Slightly below at the right is the wrathful bodhisattva Vajrapani, blue, holding a vajra upraised in the right hand, standing in a wrathful posture. At the left side is orange Manjushri, peaceful, holding aloft a sword in the right hand and the stem of a lotus to the heart with the left, blossoming at the shoulder supporting a book.At the bottom right is a monk with the hands folded at the heart, wearing red robes and seated in a kneeling posture. Three more figures seated along the bottom have suffered the ravages of time and presently remain unidentified.Avalokiteshvara is the patron bodhisattva of Tibet and practiced by all the various traditions. There are numerous Sarma lineages and different forms of practice which span all four tantric classifications as well as uncounted Kama and Terma (Revealed Treasure) traditions from the Nyingmapa School.Jeff Watt 5-99
