Buddha Je Tsongkhapa & Sons

Here Je Tsongkhapa is depicted with his two Spiritual Sons, Gyaltsabje and Khädrubje, descending from the heart of Buddha Maitreya in Tushita Pure Land. See the book Heart Jewel for an explanation of this special Guru yoga visualization.

Je Tsongkhapa was an emanation of the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri, whose appearance in fourteenth-century Tibet as a monk—and the holder of the lineage of pure view and pure deeds—was prophesised by Buddha.

He spread a very pure Buddhism throughout Tibet, showing how to combine the practices of Sutra and Tantra, and how to practice pure Dharma during degenerate times. He is the founder of New Kadampa Buddhism.
