GREETING
THE GANDEN TRIPA
Did you know?
The Dalai Lama is not the
Head of the Gelug School
The Dalai Lama is often thought to be the leader of the Gelug
School, but this position belongs officially to the Ganden Tripa. He is
the actual head of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism.
The title of the Ganden Tripa is not a reincarnation lineage but an
appointed title; though there are reincarnations of the Gaden Tripas
who are held in high esteem.
The reincarnations of Ganden Tripas are one of the highest ranked
reincarnations in Tibet. The Ganden Tripa and their reincarnations
were often chosen as tutors to the Dalai Lamas and Panchen
Lamas.
During the absence of the Dalai Lama, the Ganden Tripa or their
reincarnations were appointed as Regents of Tibet.
