One of Tibet's most famous historians. He is particularly well known for his Blue Annals (deb ther sngon po), translated into English by Nicolas Roerich, and his commentary on the Mahayana-uttaratantra-shastra. One of Gö Lotsawa's teachers was the famous Bengali scholar and Siddha Vanaratna, under whom he studied the Kalacakra teachings of Vibuthicandra and Anupamarakshita. One of his students was the famous Thrimkang Lotsawa Sönam Gyatso (1424-1482), who also studied closely with Vanaratna.
