Je Tsongkhapa (1357-1419 CE), whose ordained name was Losang Dragpa, was a great 14th century Tibetan Buddhist master who promoted and developed the Kadam Buddhism that Indian master Atisha had introduced
three centuries earlier. He was the founder of the Gelukpa in Tibetan Buddhism, and
also the founder of the Ganden Monastery. His appearance in Tibet had been predicted by Buddha himself.
Tsongkhapa patiently taught the Tibetans everything they needed for their spiritual development, from the initial step of
entering into a spiritual practice through to the ultimate attainment of Buddhahood.
