Chökyi Gyeltshen


Chökyi Gyeltshen was a Tibetan spiritual leader. He was the sixth Ganden Tripa of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism from 1463 to 1473. He was also the 1st Tatsak Rinpoche.
He was a student of Jampel Gyatso. He became known as Baso Choje, because "he either founded or took over the monastery of Baso Lhundrub Dechen."
As abbot of Ganden Monastery, he turned the main chapel into a "large temple," and installed "the gold gilt image of a form of Mañjuśrī known as Sanggye Sengge Ngaro."

"Chokyi Gyeltsen had three principle disciples, known collectively as the “Three Dorje Brothers” : Chokyi Dorje, Pelden Dorje from Tolung, and Dorje Pelwa, from Kham. Jedrung Lhawang Chokyi Gyeltsen was identified as Baso Chokyi Gyeltsen's reincarnation."
