Schaeffer's essay on the Life of the Buddha Mural at Puntsok Ling Monastery, published by the Rubin Museum of Art as part of its Project Himalayan Art initiative in 2023, read directly. Its strength is that both authors are established scholars of Tibetan Buddhist literature and art history, and the essay draws on the mural's own painted program together with Taranatha's textual source, The Sun of Faith, and on the authors' own 2011 photography of the site. Its limit is that it is a museum initiative's scholarly essay rather than a peer-reviewed journal article, published as web content rather than through formal academic peer review.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (28 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedAndrew Quintman and Kurtis R.
