About our Statue:

This Tibetan Buddhist Master Tsongkhapa Set includes three exquisitely crafted statues—Tsongkhapa, Je Khedrup, and Je Gyaltsab, each meticulously carved from copper and gold-plated to reflect the spiritual authority and wisdom of these revered masters. The statues are expertly painted with acrylic colors to highlight the intricate details of their robes, facial expressions, and hand gestures. The Tsongkhapa statue stands at 42.5cm tall and 30cm wide, while the Je Khedrup statue is 36.5cm tall and 26cm wide, and the Je Gyaltsab statue is 35cm tall and 25.5cm wide. Together, they form a harmonious and symbolic representation of the core teachings of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. The total weight of the set is 16.21kg, making it a substantial and meaningful addition to any altar or spiritual space.

Each statue embodies the essence of the individual master's teachings, with Tsongkhapa represented in the vajra pose, carrying a vase of wisdom, representing his profound spiritual teachings and ability to guide people to enlightenment. Je Khedrup is depicted with a sympathetic expression, carrying the wisdom of his teachings near to his heart, whilst Je Gyaltsab is seen in a tranquil but dignified position, exhibiting the attributes of a true Buddhist scholar and practitioner. The gold-plated copper finish gives depth and richness to the statues, while the acrylic color increases their visual appeal, making them both spiritually significant and artistically engaging.

In Tibetan Buddhism, Tsongkhapa is revered as the founder of the Gelug school, a great philosopher and teacher who contributed immensely to Buddhist teachings, especially in emphasizing logic and study. His disciples, Je Khedrup and Je Gyaltsab, played crucial roles in continuing his lineage and establishing the structure of the Gelug tradition.

Introduction to Tsongkhapa Set:

Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) is a well-known Tibetan religious philosopher. A devout monastic, Tsongkhapa took on the difficult task of locating and studying all the Indian Buddhist classics available in Tibet at the time. In his iconic form, wearing a tall yellow hat, he is the center of the Gelugpa sect that was dominant in Tibet until the Chinese takeover in 1951, and whose de facto leader is the Dalai Lama.

Gyaltsab Je was Lama Tsongkhapa's most famous student. He oversaw the building of Gaden Monastery (established by Lama Tsongkhapa) and was named its second monk after Tsongkhapa. After Lama Tsongkhapa's death, he became the Gaden Tripa, or "holder of the Gaden Throne," the head of the Gelug tradition.

Khedrup Je was a prolific author, writing fifty-eight treatises and numerous prayer books. His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, uses an essential scripture on Kalachakra as the foundation for his Kalachakra Tantra empowerments.
