Gyaltsab Je tsongkapa
Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a Tibetan Buddhist monk, scholar, and philosopher. He is considered to be the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, and his writings are still studied and practiced by Gelugpa monks and laypeople around the world. Tsongkhapa was born in Amdo, a region of northeastern Tibet, in 1357. He was a precocious child, and he began studying Buddhist texts at a young age. He eventually traveled to Central Tibet to study with some of the leading scholars of the time. Read More

Tsongkhapa was a prolific writer, and he wrote on a wide range of topics, including Buddhist philosophy, logic, meditation, and ethics. His most famous work is the Lamrim Chenmo, or "Great Stages of the Path," which is a comprehensive guide to the Buddhist path to enlightenment.

Tsongkhapa was also a skilled teacher, and he attracted a large following of students. He founded the Ganden monastery, which became the main seat of the Gelug school. Tsongkhapa died in 1419, at the age of 62.

Tsongkhapa is remembered as one of the most important figures in Tibetan Buddhism. He was a brilliant scholar, a gifted teacher, and a dedicated practitioner. His teachings have had a profound impact on the development of Tibetan Buddhism, and they continue to inspire and guide practitioners today.

Here are some of the key teachings of Tsongkhapa:

The importance of study and practice: Tsongkhapa believed that both study and practice are essential for spiritual development. He said that "the essence of the Dharma is study and practice."

The importance of logic and reason: Tsongkhapa believed that logic and reason are essential for understanding Dharma. He said that "the Dharma is not something that can be accepted on faith alone."

The importance of compassion: Tsongkhapa believed that compassion is the essence of Buddhism. He said that "the ultimate goal of Buddhism is to achieve complete enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings."

Tsongkhapa's teachings have had a profound impact on the development of Tibetan Buddhism. His emphasis on study, practice, logic, and compassion has helped to make the Gelug school one of the most popular and influential schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

Lost-Wax System
This Gyaltsab Je tsongkapa is made by the process of the Lost-Wax system. The lost-wax process, also known as investment casting, is a time-honored technique used to create metal sculptures. It involves several steps that have been practiced for thousands of years. Skilled artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, capturing every intricate detail of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with a ceramic shell, formed by multiple layers of ceramic material. Once the shell has cured, the wax is melted and drained out, leaving behind a cavity. Molten metal is poured into the cavity, creating a precise replica of the original wax model. After the metal has cooled and solidified, the ceramic shell is carefully removed, revealing the final metal sculpture.

Process of loss wax system
The lost-wax process offers exceptional quality control and customization, making it a preferred choice for artists seeking intricate and personalized metal artwork. Despite the availability of newer methods, the traditional lost-wax technique continues to be valued for its historical significance and the craftsmanship it embodies.

The method of metal casting in which molten metal is poured into a mold that has been created by means of a wax model. Once the mold is made, the wax model is melted and drained away. Bronze statues come to life differently than marble statues. Instead of carving a block or marble, the bronze artist uses the lost-wax technique to make a series of molds and then pours melted bronze into the final mold to create the sculpture. This method has been around since 4500 BCE.

There are a few important steps in the lost wax casting process:
Step 1: Sculpting ( It all starts in the studio with an idea, Then figuring out how to realize the vision in clay.)
Step 2: Mold Making.
Step 3: Wax Pouring.
Step 5: Wax Spring.
Step 6: Shell Dipping.
Step 7: Bronze Pouring.

Interestingly enough Loss wax process is also called Investment casting because after layers have been formed and dried, the wax is melted out of the ceramic tree by using steam (120°C) in an autoclave. This is why it is called "lost wax casting". The majority of the molten wax can then be regenerated and reusable.
