A merchant, a disciple of Je Tsongkhapa, miraculously found a statue of his master in a lake. He had a mould made from it. Je Tsongkhapa blessed it personally and said: ‘O merchant, this is a wholesome action.’ Since then, statues cast from this mould, such as the one shown in this picture, are known as Tsong Poen Geleg (the virtuous merchant). These rare statues are highly revered in Tibet.
