Shing Kyong Kunga Zhonnu

zhing skyong kun dga' gzhon nu, a dharma protector particularly popular with the Nyingma and Kagyu schools.

He is considered an emanation of the Four-armed Mahakala (ye sjes kyi mgon po phyag bzhi pa) who in turn is an emanation of the yidam Chakrasamvara.
The Thangka shown in the picture was painted by the present 12th Tai Situpa when he was very young and given to the former 9th Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche.
