Atiśa
Atiśa (
c.980–1055). The short name of Atiśa Dīpaṃkāra Śrījñāna. Born in Bengal into a royal family, he was a renowned Buddhist scholar and
monk who later became one of the leading teachers at the university monastery of
Vikramaśīla. He was invited to
Tibet in 1043, where he stayed until his
death, to assist in the re-establishment of
Buddhism. He was especially devoted to systematizing the Buddhist teachings available in Tibet into a structured path, as is reflected in his main work, the
Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment (Bodhi-patha-pradīpa). He founded the
Kadampa school with his chief Tibetan disciple, Dromtön, and thus effected a lasting influence upon the nature of Tibetan Buddhism.
