Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) was a pivotal Tibetan Buddhist master whose teachings and reforms led to the establishment of the Gelug school, one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He emphasized rigorous monastic discipline, comprehensive study of sutra and tantra, and the importance of logic and debate. His two main disciples, Gyaltsab Je and Khedrup Je, became his successors and were instrumental in propagating his teachings.
