Founder

Tsongkhapa naj bi dejal, da se bo na desnem bregu reke Ind nekoč razcvetelo njegovo učenje. V duhu te napovedi je Jangsem (Changsem) Sherab Zangpo iz Stoda v 15. stoletju zgradil tempelj Stagmo Lhakhang, vendar takrat še ni bila ustanovljena meniška skupnost. Njegov nečak Paldan Sherab je leta 1446 ustanovil Thiksey.
