Explanation
Atisha Dipankara Srijnana (982–1054 CE), born in Bengal, was a leading Buddhist scholar and teacher at Vikramshila, the monastery founded by the Pala king Dharmapala.
Invited by a king of western Tibet, he went to Tibet around 1042 CE and spent his last years there, reforming Tibetan Buddhism. His short work *Bodhipathapradipa* (Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment) became the basis of the Kadampa school.
