Atisa (982–1054 CE) was a Bengali Buddhist master who became a pivotal figure in the 11th-century revival of Buddhism in Tibet. He founded the Kadampa school and authored the influential text 'Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment,' which systematically outlined the entire Buddhist path. His teachings profoundly emphasized compassion, moral discipline, and the gradual stages of awakening, leaving an indelible mark on Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practice.
