Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) is a well-known Tibetan religious philosopher. A devout monk, Tsongkhapa undertook the challenging task of compiling and studying all the Indian Buddhist classics available in Tibet during his time. In his iconic form, wearing a tall yellow hat, he is the center of the Gelugpa sect that was dominant in Tibet until the Chinese takeover in 1951, and whose de facto leader is the Dalai Lama.
