Snellgrove Senior Lecturer in Tibetan and Buddhist Art (SOAS, London) Over the past fifty years, great progress has been made in assessing early Tibetan art preserved in the decoration of ancient monuments and in portable formats. Thereby the questions asked are almost exclusively art historical with a focus on identification, dating and assumed workmanship. Considering early Tibetan art from the perspective of Buddhism, and more specifically as evidence of the transmission of Buddhism to Tibet, is equally productive and provides a corrective to what we think we know in this regard from texts. This lecture will address the transmission of Buddhism to Tibet as it is apparent in the Tibetan adaptations of the Vajradhātu mandala and other Yoga Tantra themes, such as the Tantra for the Purification of All Bad Transmigrations (Sarvadurgatipariśodhanatantra) and the Dharmadhātuvāgiśvaramañjuśrīmaṇḍala, the impact of the Litany of Names of Mañjuśrī (Mañjuśrīnāmasaṃgīti), the emergence of depictions of mahāsiddha and the Highest Yoga Tantras in public artworks, and the transformation in the portraiture of the Tibetan protagonists, all of which have been subject of my research over the last three decades. What emerges is a process of weakening secrecy and exclusivity in favor of a common Buddhist identity as it is also expressed in the distinct depiction of the Tibetan monastic dress as well as the emergence of portraits of Padmasambhava both of which spread widely in the thirteenth century.
