Je Tsongkhapa
Je Tsongkhapa was an emanation of the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri, as indicated by his holding the Wisdom Sword and scripture of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra. His appearance in fourteenth-century Tibet as a monk, and the holder of the lineage of pure view and pure deeds, was prophesised by Buddha.
He spread a very pure Buddhism throughout Tibet, showing how to combine the practices of Sutra and Tantra, and how to practise pure Dharma during degenerate times. His tradition later become known as the 'New Kadampa', 'Gelug', or 'Ganden Tradition'.
