Dölpopa Shérap Gyeltsen (1292–1361), known simply as
Dölpopa, a
Tibetan Buddhist master known as "The Buddha from
Dölpo," a region in modern
Nepal, is often seen as the founder of the
Jonang tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. While the doctrinal origins of the Jonang school can be traced to the early 12th-century master
Yumo Mikyöt Dorjé, it became much wider known through the efforts of Dölpopa Shérap Gyeltsen.
