Lama Tsongkhapa Thangka with Silk Brocade

This printed thangka mounted on a traditional brocade frame with cloud and dragon motifs depicts Lama Tsongkhapa, the emanation of the Buddhas of Wisdom (Manjushri), Compassion (Chenrezig) and Skilful Means (Vajrapani). Beside him are his two heart disciples - Gyaltsab Je (left) and Khedrup Je (right) - and surrounding them are other lineage lamas of the Gelugpa tradition.

Above Lama Tsongkhapa is the Tantric Buddha Yamantaka, a wrathful emanation of Manjushri, whose practice offers powerful purification of negative karma, protection from spirits, black magic and curses, and realisation of supreme attainments. Below Lama Tsongkhapa is the Dharma Protector Kalarupa, another wrathful emanation of Manjushri, who is the special Protector of Yamantaka practitioners and the Small Scope of the Lamrim.

Lama Tsongkhapa is revered as the single greatest Tibetan commentator, scholar and yogi in the history of Buddhism. Hailed as the "Second Buddha", he was a great enlightened being who founded the Gelug tradition.

Lama Tsongkhapa grants wealth, business and career success to the practical minded. He thus allows us to look deeper into spirituality with minds free of mundane matters. Having an image of Lama Tsongkhapa harmonises our energy and stabilises our wealth and happiness. Essentials of food, money, shelter and clothing will cease to be a problem.

Practitioners of Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga meditation (Gaden Lhagyama) experience great benefits including the healing of depression and sickness, protection from negative energies, enhancement of intelligence, clarity of mind, deep joy and peace.
