Tshongkhapa is portrayed in a serene and meditative expression, performing the Dharmachakra mudrā (gesture of turning the Wheel of Dharma), symbolizing the teaching of profound wisdom. Seated in the vajra posture on a moon disc lotus base, he embodies perfect discipline, concentration, and insight. He wears traditional monastic robes, reflecting his role as a revered scholar and teacher. A lotus flower blossoms on each side—on the right, the lotus supports a flaming sword, representing the wisdom that cuts through ignorance; on the left, the lotus holds a book symbolizing the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, the teaching of transcendent wisdom. This detailed iconography expresses Tshongkhapa’s deep commitment to the Dharma and his embodiment of wisdom, ethical conduct, and spiritual realization.
