Inner Asia: The Art of Nepal II: Newar Buddhist Art
A ritual of the Satpujas being offered in front of the Amitabha shrine.
Because Amitabha is considered the Buddha of the present period of time
and the progenitor of Sakyamuni, it is his shrine before which many pujas
are offered. In this case, a preist who has realized himself as Vajrasattva
is performing the Satpujas for a jajman (not seen) in the company of twenty
or more other priests.
