The Gelug school was established by the great Tibetan Buddhist Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), and is renowned for emphasizing morality, monastic discipline, and academic research. Tibetan Buddhism was greatly influenced by Tsongkhapa's reforms and teachings, which placed a strong emphasis on the monastic community, the study of Buddhist literature, and meditation practice. Every year, during the Ganden Ngamchoe festival, his legacy is honored, marking both his passing into nirvana and his lasting influence on Buddhist thought and practice.
