The Story
1357–1419
This sculpture reflects the enduring vision of Je Tsongkhapa — a tradition shaped by wisdom, discipline, and contemplative practice.
Through carefully carved forms and symbolic details, the sculpture reveals the relationship between gesture, ornament, and a centuries-old visual tradition.
The Form
An annotated reading of Je Tsongkhapa's yellow hat, teaching gesture, ritual attributes, monastic robes and lotus seat.
The distinctive yellow hat identifies Je Tsongkhapa and the Gelug tradition.
The hands hold a moment of instruction, study and reflection.
The lotus supports the sword of wisdom that cuts through confusion.
The lotus and scripture signify learning and the transmission of knowledge.
A quiet sign of renunciation and disciplined practice.
The lotus seat grounds the figure in steadiness, attention and disciplined practice.
The Craft
A study of carving, surface, and hand-finished details that transform material into a considered sculptural form.
Every contour, relief, and finishing layer preserves the discipline behind the final form.
