Great treasury of non-referential compassion, Avalokiteśvara,

Powerful lord of flawless wisdom, Mañjuśrī,

Crowning glory amongst all the learned masters of the Land of Snows,

Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa, at your feet I pray!

Texts by and about the great master Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa (tsong kha pa blo bzang grags pa) (1357–1419), founder of the Gelug school:

Guru Yoga

A guru yoga focusing on the so-called Three Mañjuśrīs of Tibet, i.e., Longchen Rabjam (1308–1364), Sakya Paṇḍita (1182–1251) and Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa (1357–1419). Here, Jamyang Khyentse further identifies Longchen Rabjam with the bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi and Tsongkhapa with the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara.

Mind Training

One of the great Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa's most famous teachings, this short text highlights the importance of renunciation, the motivation of bodhicitta, and the wisdom that realises the nature of things.

Prayers

This very short prayer of aspiration, just seven quatrains long, focuses on accomplishing the stages of the path (lamrim) as a means to benefit all beings.

Tsongkhapa composed this five-line verse in honour of his teacher Rendawa Shönnu Lodrö (who then in turn adapted it into the famous Miktséma prayer to Tsongkhapa himself).

This concise prayer of just fourteen stanzas encapsulates the entire teaching of the graduated path (Tib. lamrim) to enlightenment, including both sūtra and tantra.
