Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a pivotal figure in Tibetan Buddhism, whose reforms led to the founding of the Gelug school. He emphasized adherence to pure monastic discipline and the rigorous study of sutras and tantras. His extensive writings, particularly the Lamrim Chenmo (The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment), remain foundational texts for Gelug practitioners worldwide.
