Like Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama is a title used for reincarnated masters in a branch of the Geluk tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Kedrup (1385–1438) is thought to have seen Tsongkapa (1357–1419), the founder of Geluk, while in a trance state at least five times. He is shown here seated before an offering table and holding a piece of white cloth, a typical Tibetan offering, while gazing at Tsongkapa, who descends on a cloudbank from the upper left riding an elephant. Terrifying protectors associated with Kedrup’s practice and teaching are pictured at the top-right and bottom-left corners of the painting; these are characteristic of such Tibetan “portraits,” as is the small image of a disciple holding a text at the lower right.
