Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a pivotal figure in Tibetan Buddhism, whose reforms led to the founding of the Gelug school, one of the four main traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Renowned for his vast scholarship, moral discipline, and profound insights into emptiness, Tsongkhapa emphasized the integration of sutra and tantra practice. His teachings and writings remain foundational for millions of practitioners, particularly his comprehensive "Lamrim Chenmo" (The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment). His disciples, Khedrup Je and Gyaltsab Je, were instrumental in propagating his teachings and establishing the Gelug lineage.
