Tsong-kha-pa

Tsong-kha-pa

▪ Tibetan lama

born 1357
died 1419

      Tibetan lama who founded a new Tibetan Buddhist sect known as the Dge-lugs-pa (q.v.), literally “Model of Virtue” but more commonly referred to as the Yellow Hat sect to distinguish it from the older Red Hat sect. Hoping to restore monastic discipline, Tsong-kha-pa enforced celibacy, required the wearing of yellow robes, and insisted on adherence to a rigorous routine. The sect eventually gained considerable influence in Mongolia; with Mongol aid, Tsong-kha-pa's successors were eventually (1642) installed as the rulers of Tibet with the title Dalai Lama.
