About our Tshongkhapa Set:
This Tsongkhapa Statue Set, representing the Founders of the Gelug School, is finely crafted from a copper body with 24K gold gilding, electro gold plating, and delicate acrylic color detailing. The set includes Tsongkhapa (32.5 cm height × 23 cm width, 4.49 kg), Je Khedrup (24.5 cm × 18.5 cm, 2.57 kg), and Je Gyaltsab (24.5 cm × 18.5 cm, 2.44 kg), with a combined weight of 9.5 kg. Expertly produced by skilled artisans, this harmonious trio is well-suited for altars, monasteries, study rooms, or refined Buddhist art collections.
In terms of iconography, Tsongkhapa is depicted performing the Dharma Chakra Mudra, signifying the turning of the Wheel of Dharma. Two lotus stems rise gracefully from either side: the right lotus supports the sword of wisdom, while the left lotus cradles the Prajñāpāramitā scripture, expressing the union of wisdom and insight. Je Gyaltsab and Je Khedrup are shown with the right hand in Vitarka Mudra, indicating teaching and discussion of the Dharma, while the left hand holds a scripture, symbolizing scholarly mastery and preservation of Buddhist teachings. All three figures are seated in Padmāsana upon lotus bases.
Spiritually, this set embodies the essence of the Gelug tradition, emphasizing discipline, ethical conduct, and profound wisdom. Tsongkhapa’s central presence highlights the synthesis of study and realization, while his two principal disciples reflect continuity, transmission, and devotion to the Dharma. Together, these statues serve as an inspiring focal point for meditation and study, representing clarity of thought, purity of practice, and the enduring legacy of the Gelug lineage.
