This image of Dorje Shugden is unusually peaceful and has been repainted based on an old thangka from the 1960′s. Similar to another downloadable thangka, this thangka has a plain background, bringing out the main features of Dorje Shugden. Like many Dorje Shugden images, the facial features are said to resemble Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche, who was one of the most influential Gelugpa lineage masters at the time.
Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche was responsible for the spread of Dorje Shugden’s practice throughout the Gelugpas, which was continued by his student, Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche.

Beautiful image of Dorje Shugden! Thank you for sharing. This will make a great poster to be framed up and placed on my altar.

As thangka artist it is very interesting to know that there is a peaceful representation of Dorje Shugden.
Its the first time that I see the 1960 thangka.
Thanks for sharing.
