Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a great Tibetan Buddhist master and founder of the Gelug school, which remained dominant in Tibet until the Chinese takeover in 1951. His teachings emphasize the importance of ethics, wisdom, and rational debate, drawing on the writings of Indian Buddhist scholars. Tsongkhapa is revered for his profound insights, scholarship, and dedication to reviving monastic discipline in Tibet. He is often depicted performing the Dharmachakra mudrā (teaching gesture) while holding a flaming sword, which symbolizes the cutting of ignorance, and a scripture, representing wisdom and the Buddha’s teachings.
