Departing from the identified Drigung Kagyü School lineage depiction on the third floor of the Alchi Sumtsek, early Drigung painting and its identification became increasingly a focus of my research. More recent publications considerably expand on and refine the results of earlier ones. Relevant publications on Alchi are featured on the Alchi research page.
