Gandhanra Thangka Art,Five Masters of the Sakya school ,Great Sakyapa
The Sakya (Tibetan: ས་སྐྱ་, Wylie: sa skya, "pale earth") school is one of four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, the others being the Nyingma, Kagyu, and Gelug.
It is one of the Red Hat Orders along with the Nyingma and Kagyu. The name Sakya ("pale earth") derives from the unique grey landscape of the Ponpori Hills in southern Tibet near Shigatse, where Sakya Monastery, the first monastery of this tradition, and the seat of the Sakya School was built by Khon Konchog Gyalpo (1034–1102) in 1073.
The Sakya tradition developed during the second period of translation of Buddhist scripture from Sanskrit into Tibetan in the late 11th century.
It was founded by Drogmi, a famous scholar and translator who had studied at the Vikramashila directly under Naropa, Ratnākaraśānti, Vagishvakirti and other great panditas from India for twelve years.
The tradition was established by the "Five Venerable Supreme Masters" starting with the grandson of Khonchog Gyalpo, Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, who became known as Sachen, or "Great Sakyapa":
1.Sachen Kunga Nyingpo (1092–1158)
2.Sonam Tsemo (1142–1182)
3.Jetsun Dragpa Gyaltsen (1147–1216)
4.Sakya Pandita (1182–1251)
5.Drogön Chögyal Phagpa (1235–1280)
