Tashilhunpo Monastery

The monastery was founded in1447 by the First Dalai Lama. It is the traditional monastic seat of the Panchen Lama. The Panchen Lama is second in rank in Tibetan Gelugpa Buddhism to the Dalai Lama. The relationship between the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama is unique. Each Lama will search for the other’s reincarnation and each Lama will first be a disciple and later in life as the teacher of the other.
