- Abstract
As an important part of the Tibetan Buddhism, the Esoteric Buddhism has been keeping a mysterious color in the long history and has become enduring. Till now, people can find the relics or the picture or statue of the Buddha related to the Esoteric Buddhism, or musical instruments used by Buddhist, or ancient books and records of ritual, or the precious Yidam of Vajrayana and Thangka of dharma protectors in every corner of Tibet. All of them have shown the Esoteric Buddhism is obviously prevailing in the Tibet region. On the basis of the exquisite and precious Thangka of Panjarnata in the Esoteric Buddhism collected in the Potala Palace, this paper tries to explain the relevant history of the dharma protector Panjarnata and the artistic value of its Thangka. However, the Esoteric Buddhism is the highest level of Buddhism, so it is difficult for common people to explain its secret in detail. We aim at exploring its value from the perspective of artworks and better providing the communication platform for the research on the precious Thangka collected in the Potala Palace.
