Gyaltsab Darma Rinchen
Gyaltsab Je (Tibetan: རྒྱལ་ཚབ་རྗེ་, Wylie: Rgyal tshab rje) (1364–1432) or more elaborately, Gyaltsab Dharma Rinchen was born in the Tsang province of central Tibet. He was a famous student of Je Tsongkhapa and direct student of Rendawa Shyönnu Lodrö (1349-1412, Teacher of Je Tsongkhapa), and actually became the first Ganden Tripa (throne holder) of the Gelug tradition after Je Tsongkhapa's death.
Gyaltsab Je was a prolific writer; one of his most famous texts is a commentary on A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way Of Life.
