Description

Explore the Life of the Buddha in image and text from the seventeenth-century Tibetan monastery Takten Puntsokling. Produced by the famed scholar of the Jonang School Tāranātha, these murals are closely related to narrative, poetic, and artistic literature evoking the story of the Buddha. The LOTB project offers unprecedented digital access to one of Tibet's greatest retellings of the Buddha's life.
