Öndör Gegeen Zanabazar (1635-1723), born Eshidorji, was the sixteenth
Jebtsundamba Khutuktu and the first Bogd Gegeen, or supreme spiritual
authority, of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) lineage of Tibetan Buddhism
in Outer Mongolia. The son of a Mongol Tüsheet Khan, Zanabazar
was declared spiritual leader of Khalkha Mongols by a convocation of
nobles in 1639 when he was just four years old. The 5th Dalai Lama
(1617–1682) later recognized him as the reincarnation of the Buddhist
scholar Taranatha and bestowed on him the Sanskrit name Jñānavajra
meaning “thunderbolt scepter of wisdom”. Over the course of nearly
60 years, Zanabazar advanced the Gelugpa school of Buddhism among
the Mongols, supplanting or synthesizing Sakya or “red Hat” Buddhist
traditions that had prevailed in the area, while strongly influencing social
and political developments in 17th century Mongolia. His close ties with
both Khalka Mongol leaders and the devout Kangxi Emperor facilitated
the Khalkha’s submission to Qing rule in 1691.
The wooden frame probably European and from the earlier 20th
century.
