Handcrafted Tibetan Tsongkhapa Set Wisdom Great Master Figurine
This Tibetan Tsongkhapa set honors Tsongkhapa, the respected founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, and his profound teachings and spiritual legacy. This sacred statue set, expertly carved from copper and embellished with 24K gold gilding, symbolizes the peak of traditional Nepalese metal artistry. The vibrant gold and acrylic paints, mixed with hand-carved gemstones, highlight every detailed detail, from the gentle folds of Tsongkhapa's robes to the delicate ornamental patterns on his chair.
In the middle of this sculpture sits Tsongkhapa, who is highly regarded for his profound study and moral life. His two most important pupils, Gyaltsab Je, and Khedrub Je, are shown on either side of him, and they both contributed significantly to the founding and growth of the Gelug tradition. This set is a remarkable work of holy art that also serves as a powerful reminder of the teachings' ongoing relevance and the significance of the guru-disciple bond in pursuing enlightenment.

The renowned Tibetan Buddhist master Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) established the Gelug school, which strongly emphasized monastic discipline, in-depth intellectual research, and a systematic approach to meditation. Many scholarly writings, comments, and practices that he left behind still impact modern Tibetan Buddhism. The focus placed by Tsongkhapa on ethics, chastity of practice, and bodhicitta growth has had a lasting impact on Tibet's spiritual landscape and beyond.
