The present painting depicts Acharya Dharmakirti, one of the group of early
Indian religious scholars known in Tibet as the 'Six Ornaments and Two
Excellent Ones of the Southern Continent,' the Southern Continent here
referring to India. These teachers were integral in establishing Buddhist
traditions that became important strands of worship in the Tibetan
tradition. The group of the 'Six Ornaments' includes Nagarjuna, founder of
the Madyamaka Tradition, and Asanga, founder of the Yogachara tradition,
their students Aryadeva and Vasubhandhu, Dignaga and Dharmakirti,
illustrated here, along with the 'Two Excellent Ones,' Gunaprabha and
Shakyaprabha. All eight figures are also included in the group known as the
Eighty-Four Mahasiddhas.
