The 10th Dalai Lama Curchen Gyamco was determined as the soul boy with the approval of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing dynasty and went through the procedure of the drawing (of) lots presided over by Grand Minister Resident of Tibet together with the Panchen Lama. He was enthroned in the sitting-in-the-bed ceremony held by Grand Minister Resident of Tibet at the Potala Palace, but he died at the age of 10. The 9th Dalai Lama Lhundo Gyamco was confirmed as Living Buddha without going through the procedure of "drawing lot from the golden urn (the system introduced by Emperor Qianlong for Lamasery to determine the reincarnate of the late Living Buddha)" with the approval of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing dynasty, who issued an imperial edict for this purpose. The fresco shows that the Emperor Dowager received the 13th Dalai Lama who came to Beijing in 1908, or the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. In 1761, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty approved confirmed soul boy Jambai Gyamco in the form of an edict and he ordered Grand Minister Resident of Tibet and the 6th Panchen Lama to hold the enthronement ceremony at the Potala Palace in the following year, granting a golden certificate of appointment and a golden seal of authority. And he was granted a golden certificate of appointment and a golden seal of authority by Emperor Kangxi, with inscription written in three languages, Manchurian, Tibetan and Han Chinese. The 7th Dalai Lama Lobsang Gyamco was determined as the soul boy at 12 in Tar Monastery by Emperor Kangxi's 14th son Yunti on behalf of the Qing imperial court. Three years later, Cangyang Gyamco was selected to be the 6th Dalai Lama and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty appointed Living Buddha Lcang-skya to officiate the sitting -in-the-bed enthronement ceremony at the Potala Palace. The 5th Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang Gyamco, was conferred the title of "the Dalai Lama" by Emperor Shunzhi, plus a golden certificate of appointment and a golden seal of authority, bearing inscription written in three languages: Manchurian, Tibetan and Han. The picture shows the Gold Bum-pa which was specially made for the lot-drawing process introduced by Emperor Qianlong for Lamasery to determine the reincarnation of the late Living Buddha in 1792, or the 57th year of the reign of Emperor Qianglong. And he was granted the title of "Holy Vajra Buddha" in addition to an official seal as well as Lama costume and hat by Emperor Wanli in Ming dynasty. The 4th Dalai Lama, Yundain Gyamco, was confirmed as the reincarnated soul boy of the late 3rd Dalai Lama by Gaden Tripa (the supreme head of the Gelug lineage, whose status was the same as Tsongkapa) before the Sakyamuni statue in Ganden Monastery. Trinley Gyatso was fully enthroned as Dalai Lama on Mabut could not stamp his full authority on Tibet because he died of a mysterious illness in the spring of 1875.Let's look at the history of the Dalai Lamas.Īs mentioned above, the first and the second Dalai Lamas were posthumously admitted after the third Dalai Lama, who died at 46, was conferred the honor title by the Mongolian Khan. Also, with missionaries threatening to enter Tibet via the Mekong and Salween Rivers, Tibet ceased recognising the authority of the Manchu government for the same reason. These wars were seen as efforts to colonise Tibet – something seen as unacceptable by the lamas. During his period of training as a child, Tibet banned Europeans from entering the country because of wars Britain was fighting against Sikkim and Bhutan, both of whom were controlled to a considerable degree by the lamas in Lhasa. He was recognised as a reincarnation of the Dalai Lama in 1860 and enthroned on 14 August that year. Tibet particularly suffered from the weakening of the Qing Dynasty which formerly offered it some outside support against the British Empire which was aiming to influence Tibet as an explansion from its colonisation of India. His short life coincided with a time of major political unrest and wars among Tibet’s neighbours. Trinley Gyatso (Janu– April 25, 1875), also spelled Trinle Gyatso and Thinle Gyatso, was the 12th Dalai Lama of Tibet.
