States his 1042 CE arrival in Tibet at the invitation of Yeshe-O, king of the western Tibetan kingdom of Guge, who sought to restore what he saw as a purer form of Buddhism after the fragmentation following Langdarma's reign; Atisha's three years spent at Tholing compiling his Bodhipathapradipa (Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment); and his standing as a leading figure of Tibet's later diffusion (phyi dar) of Buddhism, whose teaching founded the Kadam lineage.
