For centuries, Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhists have commemorated the passing of the famous Tibetan
yogi and scholar, Tsong Khapa, whose life and work is comparable to the great Tibetan saint, Milarepa. Lama Tsong Khapa was considered an emanation of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, and single- handedly inspired an entire religious renaissance. He founded the Gelugpa lineage which continues to this day.

 

Tara Institute and the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) exist as part of that lineage. On this day, many thousands of Buddhists commemorate this anniversary by making candlelight offerings and singing praises so that the Buddha’s teachings will continue to flourish.
