An exhibition was opened for the first time in which the "Five Great Buddhas", which is the handiwork of Undur Gegeen Zanabazar, a unique historical and cultural heritage of Mongolia, are placed in one place.
In the "Five Great Buddhas" exhibition, 4 Buddhas from the Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts and 1 Buddha from the Choijin Temple Museum were exhibited.
D.Otgonsuren, Director of the Choijin Lama Temple Museum, said: In the framework of the ”Creative and Culture Month” initiated by the Minister of Culture, it first started with the "Tsamba" exhibition, and now the "Five Great Buddhas" exhibition is being organized in collaboration with the Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts. In 1965, four Buddhas related to the establishment of the Zanabazar Museum were transferred from the Choijin Temple Museum's treasury fund. 57 years later, Five Great Buddhas are gathered together. It is a unique and precious heritage that tells how the five poisons of the human soul were defeated. And the exhibition allows the audience to see these Buddhas without glass cover. In 1995, these Buddhas were registered as a valuable heritage of Mongolia.
The researchers note that the creation of the Five Great Buddhas, Ul khudulgugch (Akshohya), Erdene Uusgegch (Ratnasambhava), Tsaglashgui Gerelt (Amitabha), Uil buteegch (Amogasiddhi), and Mashid Giiguulen Zokhiogch (Vairochana), as holy, charming, and staring mercifully to the human world, raises the level of Buddhas paintings to the next level.
The Five Great Buddhas represent the five bodies, symbolizing the transformation of the five sins of the soul: anger, ignorance, darkness, greed, avarice, and jealousy into opposing forces into patience, wisdom, sympathy and compassion.
