Trayerpa Monastery, left half. Spot marked 'O' shows where the cave is, in which Atisha lived for a year. Photographer: Bell, Charles Alfred
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Joins with print 60 to form a panoramic view of the monastery complex and surroundings. The cave where Atisha lived is one the hillside behind the monastery at the extreme right. 'Indian pandits, the chief of whom was Atisha, continued to visit Tibet, promoted the religion and were well-received. The cave where Atisha lived, sixteen miles east of Lhasa, is still preserved. High up on the sunny mountainside, surrounded by stunted junipers and bushes of wild currant and wild rose, it seemed a fitting home for a religious reformer in this land of ice and snow.' (Sir Charles Bell, Tibet Past and Present (Oxford, 1924), p. 31).
