Je Tsongkapa System of Depicting the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas
The images on this page follow the iconographic description for depicting the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas based on the commentary of Je Tsongkapa.
There are five unique characteristics in the Tsongkapa system. The five are the four Buddhas that hold the hand attributes of a [1] Victory Banner, [2] shirt of armor, [3] sword and [4] Mount Meru in the lap. Further, [5] Nageshvara Raja Buddha is depicted with a blue body and a white neck and head. He has a hood of seven snakes and the hands perform a gesture at the heart. This form of Nageshvara Raja follows the descriptions from the texts of Jowo Atisha describing the meditational deity Nageshvara Raja.
