Introduction to Jigten Sumgon:

Jigten Sumgon (1143–1217), also known as Lord Jigten Gönpo, was a revered Tibetan Buddhist master and the founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, one of the eight branches of the Kagyu school. A direct disciple of the great Phagmo Drupa Dorje Gyalpo, Jigten Sumgon was renowned for his profound realization, compassion, and mastery of both Sutra and Tantra teachings. He emphasized the path of ultimate liberation through meditation, moral discipline, and altruistic intention, guiding countless disciples toward enlightenment. His teachings, particularly those on Mahamudra and the “Fivefold Path of Mahamudra,” remain central to the Drikung Kagyu tradition, continuing to inspire practitioners worldwide.

How do you take care of your statues?

•    Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
•    Make sure 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 the Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet. 
•    Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
