  1. Mandala of the Two Realms

    buddhism The Mandala of the Two Realms Japanese language Jp . Ry kai mandara , also known as the Mandala of the Two Divisions Jp. Ry bu mandara , is a set of two mandala s depicting both the Five Wisdom Buddhas of the Diamond Realm as well as the Five Wisdom Kings of the Womb Realm . The number of deities arranged around the cores varies, but may range as high as 414. The Diamond Realm represents the unchanging cosmic principle of the Buddha, while the Womb Realm depicts the active, physical manifestation of Buddha in the natural world. The mandalas are thus considered a compact expression of the entirety of the Dharma in Mahayana Buddhism, and form the root of the Vajrayana teachings. Japanese Shingon temples, in particular, often prominently display the Mandalas of the Two Realms mounted at right angles to the image platform on the central altar. The two mandalas are believed to have evolved separately in India , and were joined together for the first time in China , perhaps by K kai s teacher Hui kuo .

Matho is the only example in Ladakh of the Sakyapa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Because it does not lay on the main highway from Leh, it sees fewer visitors than Hemis, Thiske or Shey . However, it is known to outsiders for its annual Oracle Matho Nagran Festival, held on the 14th and 15th days of the first month of the Tibetan calendar. During this festival, the approximately 60 resident lamas elect two oracles, known as Rongzam , to serve a three year term. The purpose of these oracles is to attempt to predict the fortunes of the local village communities for the coming year. Matho is also home to a collection of thangka s dating back to the 16th century.

    Image Karmapa4.jpg right thumb 260px Rolpe Dorje, the 4th Karmapa Tibetan Buddhism Rolpe Dorje 1340 1383 was the fourth Gyalwa Karmapa . According to legend the fourth Karmapa s mother, while pregnant, could hear the sound of the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum while the child was in her womb and the baby said the mantra as soon as he was born. His early life was full of miracles and manifested a total continuity of the teachings and qualities of his former incarnation, including receiving teachings in his dreams. While in his teens, he received the formal transmissions of both the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages from the great Nyingma guru Yungt npa, the Rangjung Dorje third Karmapa s spiritual heir, now very advanced in years. At the age of nineteen, he accepted Toghon Temur s invitation to return to China where he gave teachings for three years and established many temples and monasteries. On his return to Tibet , while in the Tsongkha region, Rolpi Dorje gave lay ordination to a very special child, whom he predicted to be of great importance to Buddhism in Tibet. This was Je Tsongkhapa Tsong Khapa , the future founder of the Gelugpa school, famous for its Dalai Lama s. When Temur died, the Mongol dynasty ended and the Ming dynasty began. The new emperor invited Rolpi Dorje, who declined the invitation but sent another lama in his stead. Rolpi Dorje composed mystic songs throughout his life and was an accomplished poet, fond of Indian poetics. He is also remembered for creating a huge painting thangka following a vision of one of his students, who had imagined a Buddha image over a 100 metres tall. The Karmapa, on horseback, traced the Buddha s outline with hoofprints. The design was measured and traced on cloth. It took 500 workers more than a year to complete the thangka, which depicted the Gautama Buddha Buddha , Maitreya and Manjusri the founders of Mahayana .
