 Khenchen Pema Gyaltshen Yangsi, Gen Nyima Yangsi [ their previous incarnations, both Teachers and Examiners of the Dalai Lama and the present Ganden Tripa – seated at the centre ], Dremay Sungrab Tulku and Gartha Tulku seated at the sides. All four hail from Loseling Phara House. Standing with the CAS people is Gen Choezed-la, our most trusted and closest friend in Loseling.

 Most beautiful life-size statue of Je Tzongkhapa. Je Tzongkhapa is the Founder of the holy Gelugpa Tradition and is the initiator of the line of Ganden Tripas. The comnig of Je Tzongkhapa has been prophesied by Lord Buddha Himself, Guru Padmasambhava and even the Third Karmapa who described Him as the "second Buddha coming to Tibet". |
