Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a highly revered Tibetan religious philosopher and devoted monastic. He dedicated his life to the study of Indian Buddhist texts, seeking out and mastering all the classical teachings available in Tibet during his time. In his well-known depiction, he is seen wearing a tall yellow hat, symbolizing his role as the founder of the Gelug school, which remained the dominant Buddhist tradition in Tibet until China’s takeover in 1951. The Dalai Lama is considered the de facto leader of this tradition.
Among Tsongkhapa’s most distinguished disciples was Gyaltsab Je, who played a key role in the construction of Gaden Monastery, an institution founded by Tsongkhapa himself. He was appointed as the monastery’s second abbot and, following Tsongkhapa’s passing, assumed the position of Gaden Tripa—the official head of the Gelug tradition.
Another prominent student, Khedrup Je, was a prolific scholar, having authored fifty-eight treatises along with numerous prayer texts. His works continue to hold great significance, and one of his key writings on Kalachakra serves as the foundation for the Kalachakra Tantra empowerment bestowed by His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama.
