Khedrup Je

About The Author

Khedrup Gelek Palsang (1385–1438), well known as Khedrup Je, was one of the main disciples of Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), founder of the Geluk school of Tibetan Buddhism. Khedrup was already a learned scholar in the Sakya school when he met Tsongkhapa, having trained with the master Rendawa Shönü Lodrö (1349–1412). His eleven volumes of collected works contain key commentaries on philosophy such as the one here, but also many influential works on tantra. He also composed the main biography of Tsongkhapa. His literary flair and skill in argumentation continue to be emulated in the Geluk school to this day.
