西藏 十六至十七世紀 四薩迦派喇嘛唐卡 設色布本
Kunga Nyingpo (1092-1158) was the third throne holder of Sakya Monastery and a proponent of the Lamdre system of Buddhist philosophy and meditation technique expounded in the Hevajra Tantra: a dancing multi-armed blue Hevajra appears at the apex of the thangka. The Hevajra Tantra is fundamental to the Sakya order and is believed to have originated in the teachings of the ninth century Indian mahasiddha Virupa.

貢噶寧波（1092-1158）為薩迦寺第三任寺主，亦為佛教道果體系的倡導者，闡述金剛密法中之哲學和禪修技巧：唐卡上方繪有一尊手舞足蹈的多臂藍色金剛。金剛密法是薩迦派之根基，其源於九世紀印度大成就者毘瓦巴之教義。
