Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a Tibetan Buddhist master whose reforms and teachings led to the founding of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, which is the largest and most influential school today, headed by the Dalai Lama. He emphasized the importance of monastic discipline, ethical conduct, and the profound study of both sutra and tantra, synthesizing earlier Buddhist traditions into a comprehensive and systematic path to enlightenment.
