Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a renowned Tibetan Buddhist master whose teachings led to the formation of the Gelug school, one of the four primary schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He emphasized the systematic study of sutra and tantra, strict monastic discipline, and the comprehensive path of lamrim (stages of the path to enlightenment), profoundly revitalizing the Dharma in Tibet and establishing a rich lineage of wisdom.
