This handcrafted Je Tsongkhapa statue portrays the revered sage of wisdom and founder of the Gelug lineage in Tibetan Buddhism. His right hand forms the dharmachakra mudra of teaching while his left hand rests in his lap cradling a sacred vase of blessings. Lotus stems rise gracefully from each shoulder carrying the flaming sword that cuts through ignorance and the Prajnaparamita sutra that embodies the perfection of knowledge. With a gold painted face and elongated ears his serene expression radiates the clarity and compassion central to his teachings.

Handcrafted by Newari artisans in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, this Je Tsongkhapa sculpture is cast in solid copper using the lost wax technique and with luminous gold-fire gilding for lasting brilliance. The monastic robe comes alive with repoussé patterns and delicate motifs hand chased and carved with remarkable depth. Resting upon a lotus throne, the statue carries forward a Nepali artistic tradition refined across centuries.

A fitting centerpiece for meditation spaces and home altars, this Je Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa statue invites mental clarity and a living connection to the wisdom lineage he founded.

About Je Tsongkhapa

Tsongkhapa, the renowned Tibetan Buddhist master and founder of the Gelug school, was born in 1357 in Tibet and became a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism, known for his profound philosophical works like "The Great Treatise on the Path to Enlightenment" (Lamrim Chenmo), which emphasized the union of compassion and wisdom. Establishing key monastic institutions such as Ganden Monastery, he promoted strict ethical discipline and scholarship, shaping the Gelug tradition—recognizable by its iconic yellow hat. Tsongkhapa’s legacy endures through his teachings on meditation, Buddhist philosophy, and moral conduct, inspiring practitioners worldwide, while Tsongkhapa statues and rituals remain sacred symbols of his enlightened wisdom until his passing in 1419.
