Tibetan Guru Tsongkhapa Statues Set 9"

These are full gold plated Statues of Three Tibetan Philosopher Tsongkhapa, Lamrim Chenmo and Ngakrim Chenmo also known as Guru Tsongkhapa with Disciples, Gyaltsabje and Khedrubje. It is believed that Guru Tsongkhapa is believed to be an incarnation of the Bodhisattva Manjushri representing the Buddha's wisdom. Additionally, Gyaltsabje is deemed to be Avalokitesvara representing the compassion of all the Buddhas. Finally, Khedrubje is believed to be Vajrapani who represents all the Buddhas power.

This Guru Tsongkhapa sculptures set honors Tsongkhapa who is the founder of the Gelug school of Buddhism. Furthermore, Tibetan Buddhists accept that Shakyamuni Buddha forecasted that Guru Tsongkhapa would show up as Manjushri. The Buddha says he would show up as a normal being to show the methods of the Buddha. Likewise, he was to build up a "euphoric" land in the "Place that is known for the Snows" where he would fill in as it's defender. The Gelug school of Buddhism is as yet overwhelming today and it is addressed by the fourteenth Dalai Lama
