Lama Gyaltsab Je was born in Tsang province of central Tibet in 1361/1364. He became a Buddhist monk of the Sakyapa sect and received the highest degree, Kachu, for which he was tested in ten subjects. Subsequently he became the favorite disciple of Tsong Khapa and transmitter of his teachings. After the demise of Tsong Khapa in 1419, he became the first Ganden Tripa, the throne holder of Tsong Khapa at Ganden monastery. Ganden Tripa is much revered in Tibet and is often considered a substitute of Tsong Khapa.
