Kadam school
The Kadam school was a tradition of Tibetan Buddhism founded in the eleventh century by Dromtön, a disciple of the Indian teacher Atisha, who established Reting Monastery in 1056. It stressed monastic discipline and the graded path to enlightenment. Its teachings were absorbed into the other schools, above all the Gelug school of Tsongkhapa, sometimes called the New Kadam.
