| | The sixth Buddha is superior to the five wisdom Buddhas, each of whom heads a "family" of deities according to traditional iconographic theory. | | | There is considerable evidence that Tibetan artists borrowed iconographic conventions originally developed for depictions of Buddhas and bodhisattvas in their renditions of Buddhist hierarchs. | | | In rendering Buddhist hierarchs, artists frequently relied on iconography already established for the portrayal of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and other deities, an observance justified by the Tibetan perception of their religious leaders as living Buddhas and bodhisattvas. |
