The image below is a thangka from Gargon Monastery and belonged to the 6th Gar Rinpoche. The 6th Garchen Rinpoche was a Gelong, a fully ordained monk. His attendant asked to paint his image on this thangka. In response the 6th Garchen Rinpoche asked that his image be painted in the form a Ngakpa, or lay tantric practitioner.

The 7th Garchen Rinpoche ended up being a lay tantric practitioner / Ngakpa.

The 8th Garchen Rinpoche had this thangka in his private room before the cultural revolution.
