Lama Chopa

Lama Chöpa serves as a central practice of guru devotion within the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, revered for its significance and popularity. Compiled by the first Panchen Lama, it reflects the teachings of Je Tsongkhapa, the Gelugpa founder. This text became integral to the spiritual life of monks in Tibet and Mongolia, with many memorizing and reciting it daily, both individually and in group settings. Its widespread use underscores its importance in fostering devotion and connection within the tradition.
