Lama Losang Tubwang Dorjechang

A special manifestation of Je Tsongkhapa revealed directly to the great Yogi Dharmavajra. Je Tsongkhapa appears as a fully ordained monk, with Buddha Shakyamuni at his heart, and Conqueror Vajradhara at his heart. The name implies that our root Spiritual Guide, or Lama, Je Tsongkhapa (or Losang Dragpa, Je Tsongkhapa’s ordained name), Tubwang – or ‘Powerful Heart’ which refers to Buddha Shakyamuni – and Dorjechang (Tibetan for Vajradhara) are one person but have different aspects. The Spiritual Guide is visualized in this aspect in the practice, Offering to the Spiritual Guide, indicating that in reality he is inseparable from Je Tsongkhapa, Buddha Shakyamuni and Conqueror Vajradhara. A complete commentary to this practice can be found in Great Treasury of Merit.
