Bon Refuge Field (Shardza Design)

Post by chidaruma »

Hello,
I'm looking for more information on this particular design of the refuge field:
http://thangka-bon.com/en/sobranie-obek ... ishha.html

beyond what is provided on https://www.himalayanart.org/items/200013

I particularly like this design and I'm wondering whether I can practice ngondro using it, but for that I'd like to know more about the particulars of this thangka. The central part and the khandros, yidams, protectors are obviously self-explanatory, but I'm especially curious about the figures above the rainbow circle - above Shenlha Okar and to the left and right and in between left and centre and right and centre. I'm assuming various lineage-holders and lineages but what lineages are these?

This design is so beautiful.
