Je Tsongkapa Thangka

Invite the energy of profound wisdom and spiritual clarity into your space with this exquisite hand-painted thangka of Lama Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419). As the revered founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, Tsongkhapa is celebrated as an emanation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.

Painted with mineral paint with 24K gold accents, this Tsongkapa thangka is a stunning example of traditional Himalayan artistry, blending vibrant mineral pigments with intricate gold detailing to create a focal point for meditation or sacred decor.

Symbolism & Iconography

Every element of this thangka is rich with spiritual significance:

• The Central Figure: Tsongkhapa is depicted in his classic seated posture, wearing the yellow "Pandit" hat and monastic robes. His hands are held in the Dharmachakra Mudra (the gesture of Turning the Wheel of Dharma).
• The Sword and Book: Emerging from lotus blossoms at his shoulders are the Sword of Wisdom (cutting through ignorance) and the Prajnaparamita Sutra (the Perfection of Wisdom text), signifying his mastery over all Buddhist teachings.
• The Landscape: He sits atop a multi-colored lotus throne amidst a serene landscape of rolling green hills and stylized clouds, representing the purity of the enlightened mind within the natural world.

Unlike mass-produced prints, this hand-painted thangka possesses a unique depth and "life" that can only be achieved through hours of disciplined brushwork. The use of gold leaf ensures that the halo and ornaments shimmer under light, creating a truly transcendent visual experience.
