Khedrup I
Khedrup I or Kedrub Jey, also called Khedrup Gelek Pelzang, (Tibetan: ་མྷས་གྲུབ་དགེལེགས་དཔལ་བཟང་; Wylie: Mkhas-grub Rje Dge-legacy Dpal-bzang-Po) (1385 - 1438) was a scholar Tibetan of the 15th century. In its visions, the 5 {{E}} Dalaï Lama retrospectively recognized it like one of the preceding incarnations of the 4th Panchen LAMA, Lobsang Chökyi Gyalsten. Khedrup I was one of the principal disciples of I Tsong Khapa. It in particular composed a text called " The Illumination of the thought, Ritual of entry in the mandala of glorious Kalachakra". This text describes the ceremony of purification of the disciples and the establishment of the deities in the mandala. It is intended for those which already received initiation and practice by themselves the rite of entry in the mandala of Kalachakra in order to purify their faults or the transgression of their wishes. These texts of practice, headings dang juk in Tibetan or “car-initiation”, restore the transmission of being able and are recited once a month. The ritual of the initiation of Kalachakra, such as gives it the 14 {{E}} Dalaï Lama, is adapted of this work and the Ritual of Kalachakra in simplified form, writing at the beginning of the 20th century by Drewo Khangsar Rinpoche, Master and scholar Gelugpa of the province Tibetan of the Kham. Khedrup I was unanimously elected 3rd abbot of the monastery of Ganden (after Tsongkhapa and Gyaltsab I) by the monks. It also became Ganden Tripa, chief of the tradition Gelugpa. Khedrub I was a prolific author and founded the monastery of Baiju in the area of Gyantse to the Tibet in 1418.
According to the legend, after Tsongkhapa disappeared in 1419, its disciple Khedrub I met it on five occasions in mystical states. One remembers of Khedrub I for his charisma as a professor, as for his many excellent comments on the tantric lines that Tsongkhapa gathered and elucidated. He played a big role in the education of the 1 {{er}} Dalaï Lama, which was youngest of five disciples of Tsongkhapa.
