Introduction To Tsongkhapa:

Great Tibetan Buddhist Master Je Tsongkhapa, whose given name was Losang Dragpa, flourished in the 14th century and advanced the Kadampa school of Buddhism, which Atisha had founded three centuries earlier. The Buddha anticipated him before he arrived in Tibet. He meticulously taught the Tibetans everything they needed to know about spiritual growth, from the initial step of starting a spiritual practice to the ultimate achievement of Buddhahood. During this golden period of Tibet, Je Tsongkhapa set the bar for moral purity, a loving way of life, and profound, liberating insight, inspiring thousands of Tibetans.

How do you take care of your statues?

Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
Ensure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
Do not use your bare hands or any objects with rough surfaces to wipe your face. Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
