In part 5, we get into the epic life of the Sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, who was enthroned in 1697. He was, and still is, famous for his poems and his life separated from monastic obligations.

This episode features a portrait of the Sixth Dalai Lama painted by Lhasa Gyamtso, one of the most famous painters in Tibet, as well as visual representations of him in the Lukhang murals, and various images representing the Mahasiddhas wall.

This is part 5 of the documentary about the TIBET'S SECRET TEMPLE: BODY, MIND AND MEDITATION IN TANTRIC BUDDHISM exhibition held at the Wellcome Collection in London.
