Sönam Tsemo (* 1142 in Sakya ; † 1182 ) is one of the "Five Venerable Masters" who are considered to be the actual founder of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism . These five masters include Sönam Tsemo, things Künga Nyingpo , Dragpa Gyeltshen , Sakya Pandita Künga Gyeltshen and Drogön Chögyel Phagpa . Sönam Tsemo was the son of Künga Nyingpo, who created the teaching structure of the Sakya tradition. He became a student of his father and received all the teachings of the Sakya School from him. He is said to have fully realized it at a young age. He later traveled to central Tibet and studied for many years with the masters of the Old Kadam School, in particular logic and "Supreme Transcendent Wisdom" ( Prajnaparamita ). After his return he devoted himself to his duties as 4th Sakya Thridzin (Throne Holder of the Sakya), as well as meditation and teaching.
