A great Buddhist master who excelled in Abhidharma (metaphysics), Madhyamika (middle path), prajnaparamita (knowledge), pramana (logic), and Vinaya (rules for monks), Tsongkhapa in this gilded copper Nepalese statue is presented in the act of disseminating the knowledge of Buddha. He is wearing a golden cap, worn by traveling monks, and fine robes and sits in the Padmasana- a posture for meditation. His hands mirror the Dhammachakrapravartana mudra- the gesture of Buddha during his first sermon and his face carries a serenity typical of Buddha idols, underlining his proximity to Buddhahood.
