TEMPLE ART ~~ Tangkas and Mandalas are below the temple art
The followiong are jiantang or temple wall paintings on cloth. Since they were on cloth the Tibetans of Senge were able to remove them from the various temples in March of 1958 just prior to the brutal killings of the monks and general populace which coincided with the complete destruction of the various temples and halls of both the Upper and Lower Senge Monasteries. Unfortunately the Chinese authorities for years made it a point of "borrowing" the surviving art work, ostensibly to display in museums, only to never disclose which museum they were in and have never returned a single piece. These surviving pieces of Buddhist art were removed from Tibet in 2006 for their safe keeping and to assure that the monasteries would be adequately compensated for their heritage art work.
