Khedrup Gelek Pelzang (), better known as Khedrup Je (), is well-known as one of the main disciples of Lama Tsongkhapa (founder of the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Khedrup Je was unanimously chosen as Ganden's third abbot (after Tsongkhapa and Gyaltsab Je) by its monks, and also became the Ganden Tripa, the leader of the Gelug tradition. Khedrub Je was a prolific writer (for example on Kalachakra) and founded Baiju Monastery in Gyantse District in Tibet in 1418.

''"According to the legend, after Tsongkhapa passed away in 1419, his disciple Khedrub Jey on five occasions met with him in mystical states. Kedrub Jey is most remembered for his charisma as a teacher, as well as for the many excellent commentaries that he wrote on the tantric lineages which Tsongkhapa gathered together and elucidated. He played an important role in the education of the First Dalai Lama, who was the youngest of Tsongkhapa's five chief disciples."Glenn Mullin & Andy Weber at ^*, Excerpt from an Exhibition Catalog
