Geshe (Wyl. dge bshes) is the Tibetan equivalent of the Sanskrit kalyāṇamitra, which literally means 'virtuous friend', yet in common usage, it is a title awarded to scholars in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism once they graduate from their studies. Different grades of geshe degree exist, the highest being Geshe Lharampa.
