Tsongkapa Sculpture made from a cast metal mold.

"Great treasure of impartial compassion, Avalokiteshvara, Powerful stainless omniscience, Manjushri, Completely subduing all demons, Lord of Secrets, The crown ornament of scholars in the Land of Snows, Tsongkapa, Homage and praise to the feet of Lobsang Dragpa."

An additional inscription reads: "May the Yellow Hat tradition live long and the victory standard be firmly established." Virtuous!

Jeff Watt 6-2002

Inscription English Transliteration: The Four-line prayer to Lama Tsongkapa.
