Sakya means pale earth in Tibetan. The Sakya school is one of the four great schools of Tibetan Buddhism besides the Kagyu, Nyingma and Gelug Schools. • The Sakya monastery derives its name from this pale earth found in Sakya County in Shigatse Prefecture about 450 kms from Lhasa. • The first Sakya Monastery was founded in 1073 AD by Khon Konchog Gyalpo of the noble Khon family of Tibet. It also served as the seat of the Sakya School who held the political power in Tibet during the 13th century. The head of the Sakya School is known as Sakya Trizin. It is a hereditary title. • A special feature that distinguishes the Sakya school from other Buddhist schools are its red, white and grey painted walls which represent the Three Great Protector deities Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani embodying Wisdom, Compassion, and infinite Sacred Power respectively. • • Travelling with SBI Board Member Tseyang Khangkar who is also one of the Assistants of His Eminence Khyungser Trichen Rinpoche, the incarnation of the 65th Head of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism. • Khyungser Trichen Rinpoche: http://www.shangrilatulku.com/ • Shangrila Buddhist Institute: http://www.buddhist.institute/ • • Music by Joakim Karud http://theartistunion.com/joakimkarud
