Asian antiquities dealer Moke Mokotoff has been working with the Terton
Lama Kunzang Dechen Lingpa to build the architectural "ter" (visionary
Buddhist treasure) since 2001 under the auspices of the non-profit
Zangdokpalri Foundation.
The monumental temple is now nearing completion in the Indian Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh. www.zangdokpalri.org 
Mokotoff was the curator of the Shelley and Donald Rubin collection which grew during his tenure (1995-2001) from 40 to 600 Tibetan thangkas and Nepalese patas. He also served on the founding committee for the Rubin Museum of Art and created the www.himalayanart.org website which, under the later direction of Tibetan iconographer Jeff Watt, has been expanded to now include over 25,000 images from collections around the world. |
