The main work by the founder of the Geluk tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, Tsonkhapa (1357-1419).
Custodial history: The book belonged to the Most Venerable Zhimba Zhamso Tsybenov (1904-1995), who served as the Abbot of Tsugol monastery for one year during 1994-1995. After his passing away in June 16th, 1995, his vast collection of books first moved to his relatives and shortly after that to Andrey Terentyev, a famous Russian Buddhologist and publisher, who allegedly bought it off them and kept in his possession ever since, first at home and then at Pyotr Kozlov Apartment Museum in St. Petersburg. In May 2014, Andrey Terentyev generously presented the book to Aginsky Datsan. This copy of Aga monastery's xylographic Lamrim of Tsonkhapa is probably the only one that survived to these days. The blocks were carved in 1923, the printing was done between 1923 and 1937.
