Gendün Drup (Wyl. dge 'dun grub) (1391-1474) - Born into a simple nomadic family of Tsang, Gendün Drup would become an incredibly learned and realized master. He began studying in the Kadampa tradition but then, after meeting with Tsongkhapa in 1415 in Central Tibet, he followed the Gelugpa school. Two centuries later he would be given the title of First Dalai Lama.
