Himalayan Lama Tsongkhapa set statue | Tibetan teacher Trio Lama Tsongkhapa's statue has a total weight of 10.64 kg. The main figure stands at 12.6”/32cm in height with a base width of 9.3”/23.5cm. Each piece is crafted from a copper body, 24K gold gilding, enhanced by intricate gold and acrylic paintings. The set beautifully represents Tsongkhapa along with his two main disciples, Je Gyaltsab and Je Khedrup, making it a meaningful and spiritually significant addition to any sacred space or collection. In this exquisite statue set, the revered master Tsongkhapa—founder of the Gelug school and one of Tibetan Buddhism’s greatest philosophers—is shown seated in serene meditation. His hands form the Dharmachakra Mudra, the gesture of turning the Wheel of Dharma, held close to his heart to signify the profound teachings he offered. From his hands rise two delicate lotus stems: on the left blooms a lotus bearing a flaming sword, a powerful emblem of wisdom that cuts through the darkness of ignorance. On the right, another lotus supports the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, the sacred text that embodies the perfection of wisdom and lies at the heart of his doctrine. Flanking the master are his most devoted disciples, Je Gyaltsab and Je Khedrup, each portrayed in a posture of engaged discourse. With hands in the Vitarka Mudra—the gesture of discussion and intellectual exchange—they reflect their vital role in transmitting and preserving the Dharma. The scriptures they hold are more than symbols; they are echoes of Tsongkhapa’s living legacy, carried forward through unwavering devotion and scholarship. Together, these three figures form a powerful narrative of enlightenment, lineage, and the enduring light of wisdom passed from teacher to student across generations.

A devout monk, Tsongkhapa undertook the challenging task of compiling and studying all the Indian Buddhist classics available in Tibet during his time. In his iconic form, wearing a tall, yellow hat, he is the center of the Gelugpa sect, which 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, draws on an essential scripture, the Kalachakra Tantra, as the foundation for his Kalachakra Tantra empowerments.
