Notes about the Central Figure
Choying Dorje, 10th Karmapa.
The central figure is the 10th Karmapa, Choying Dorje, in a teaching gesture. Chaturbhuja Lokeshvara (4-arms Chenrezig) sits on a moondisk above the lotus base in the top left corner. The figure wearing a red hat in the gesture of debate is the Fourth Pawo, Tsukluk Kuntu Zangpo (1633-1649), who was recognized by Choying Dorje in Lhodrak. Below him in meditation is the Third Treho Tenzin Dhargye. On the bottom right corner is his attendant Kuntu Zangpo.
