About 100 years after Lang Darma's blow, Buddhism revived. In 1042, Atisha, an East Indian (from what is today Bangladesh) Buddhist sage, came to Tibet and many sects of Buddhism were founded thereafter. The second transmission of Buddhism was so powerful that when the Mongols rose in the early 13th century, the leaders realized that relying solely on religious influences could accelerate the unification of Tibet. In 1246, Godan Khan, grandson of the famous Ghengis Khan (1162-1227), met Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyaltsen (1182-1251) in Liangzhou (presently Wuwei City, Gansu Province) and granted the local authority to this prestigious scholar and abbot of the <a href="/shigatse/sakya.htm">Sakya Monastery</a> , in exchange for Tibet's submission. In 1260 when Kublai Khan (1215-1294) succeeded to the throne, Choygal Phakpa (1235-1280), nephew of Sakya Pandita, was appointed Imperial Preceptor and took charge of the national Buddhism affairs of the Mongol Empire and the local administration of Tibet. In 1265, Choygal Phakpa established the Sakya Kingdom, which was later incorporated as part of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).
