One of them is Kadam school, created by an Indian monk Atisha, which achieved a great prosperity in the first decade of XII century, especially in the Tibet. Numerous schools, a great number of teachers, and also inevitable different understanding of its studies have led to conflicting reinterpretations and internal conflicts.
