| Description |
English: Around the year 1000, it became common in Pala India to depict the Buddha Shakyamuni with a crown on his head to indicate that at the time of his enlightenment he was crowned by cosmic Buddhas. This belief was carried to Tibet. It had a real-life counterpart in the diadem initiations practiced by Tantric Buddhists-ritual crownings that signified passage to a still-higher spiritual status. |
