Je Tsongkapa System of Depicting the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas

The images below follow the iconographic description for depicting the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas based on the commentary of Je Tsongkapa. A block print set from Mongolia also follows Tsongkapa.

There are five unique characteristics in the Tsongkapa system. The five are the four Buddhas that hold the hand attributes of a [1] Victory Banner, [2] shirt of armor, [3] sword and [4] Mount Meru in the lap. Further, [5] Nageshvara Raja Buddha is depicted with a blue body and a white neck and head. He has a hood of seven snakes and the hands perform a gesture at the heart. This form of Nageshvara Raja follows the descriptions from the texts of Jowo Atisha describing the meditational deity Nageshvara Raja. The remaining thirty of the Thirty-five Buddhas display hand gestures.
