Summary

[edit]
Description

Teaching Complex Assembly Hall, notice the yellow hats. Depung Monastery. Lhasa, Tibet

The Gelugs (yellow hats) tradition was founded by Tibetan teacher Je Tsongkhapa (1357-1419). The basis is formed by the old Kadam lineage, but it in fact includes all other Tibetan traditions. Sonam Gyatso (1543-1588), received the title 'Dalai Lama' (Ocean of Wisdom) from the Mongol ruler Althan Khan in 1578. In 1642, the 5th. Dalai Lama became temporal and spiritual leader of Tibet by order of the Mongol ruler Gushri Khan. Although trained in all four schools, basically all Dalai Lamas were Gelug; it is one of the reasons that Gelug tradition is most widespread in Tibet. Unlike what many people think, the Dalai Lamas are not the spiritual heads of the Gelugpa school; this is always the Gaden Tripa.

Some typical aspects of the Gelug tradition: emphasis on ethics and sound scholarship.
