Lama Tsongkhapa: Life, Practice, Mantra. Compassion, Wisdom, Power. Visualization and mantras.

Great Sage from the Land of Snows Lama Tsongkhapa - an ideal practice. His story, praise, practice, and mantras sung by the amazing Yoko Dharma.
In these difficult times, we need practices that generate the healing powers of Compassion, Wisdom and Power. These are usually personified, from a Mahayana Buddhist point-of-view in the Enlightened forms of Chenrezig for Compassion, Manjushri for Wisdom, and Vajrapani for Power. Or, in the profound practice of the Buddha from the Land of Snows, Lama Je Tsongkhapa, who is an emanation of all three.
Come along with us now as we celebrate the life and practice of the Great Sage from the Land of Snows, and finish with a visualization and chanting of the Migstema.

In the land of snows, in the year 1357, a boy who would come to be known as Lama Tsongkhapa was born to a Mongolian father and a Tibetan mother in Amdo, Tibet. He would come to be revered as the Buddha from the Land of Snows, and an incarnation of all three of the Great Bodhisattvas: Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani. His practice, today, embodies the qualities of these great ones: Wisdom, Compassion, and Power. He is equally revered for his vast library of Enlightened teachings in written form.
Lama Tsongkhapa's birth was prophesized by both Buddha Shakyamuni and Guru Rinpoche according to texts, including the Manjushri Root Text.
Buddha Shakyamuni prophesied, "After I pass away and my pure doctrine is absent, you will appear as an ordinary being, performing the deeds of a Buddha, and establishing the Joyful Land, the great Protector, in the Land of the Snows."
In these difficult times, many famous gurus, lamas and teachers suggest this very powerful, yet accessible practice. The practice does not require initiation or empowerment-although the guidance of a teacher and initiation are beneficial.
Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche advised: “If one keeps even a drop of the nectar of the name of this holy being Lama Tsongkhapa in a devotional heart, it plants the seed of liberation and one receives the fortune to practice and enjoy happiness from this life up to enlightenment.”
Historically, Lama Tsongkhapa is among the greatest of the sages of the Land of Snows. He authored numerous exhaustive and profound texts covering everything from Lamrim to Secret Tantra - all of the key teachings of sutra and tantra combined.
Correction: the correct name of the praise is Migtsema rather than Migstema.

The great sage Lama Tsongkhapa taught extensively on Shunyata, on Emptiness. He famously wrote: "Emptiness is the track on which the centered person moves." He always emphasized logic and philosophy and debate - as could be expected from an emanation of Manjushri. Ultimate truth and Shunyata were a central focus to many of his writings - and he was especially focused on overcoming the various misinterpretations of Emptiness, especially incorrect Nihilisitic and Absolutist views.
Lama Tsongkhapa asserted authoritatively that all phenomena are empty of inherent existence or essence - in Sankrit svabhava - because they are dependently originated.
