This portrait of Buton Rinpoche (1290–1364) is important for both its artistic merit and its historical significance. The remarkable Buton Rinpoche was an abbot of Shalu Monastery in Tsang, Tibet. His genius is evident in his revision of the Tibetan Buddhist canon, which he compiled and organized into two great works: the Kanjur, containing the words of the Buddha, and the Tanjur, the commentaries upon those words. In 1333 Buton Rinpoche ordered and supervised the restoration of the Shalu Monastery in Tibet, employing the very best artisans and artists from as far away as Nepal and China. In this lineage painting, Buton Rinpoche sits in meditation with his hands in the preaching gesture. He holds two lotuses—one supporting a thunderbolt, and the other a bell. The figures shown above Buton are his teachers; the figures below are the lamas to whom he in turn passed on his knowledge. Included among these figures are others influenced by his writings. The two lamas directly below Buton, seated on thrones draped with white ceremonial scarves (kata), are the Fifth and Sixth Dalai Lamas (1617–1682 and 1683–1706, respectively). Tibetan devotional paintings (thangkas) are usually anonymous because to paint or to commission one is an act of merit, into which the human ego is not supposed to enter. An inscription on the back of this painting includes the artists name and notes that this is the first of a series of eleven paintings. Some of these paintings (all having the same black background) can be found in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
