Lobsang Palden Yeshe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lobsang Palden Yeshe (1738–1780) (Tibetan: བློ་བཟང་གྤལ་ལྡན་ཡེ་ཤེས་་; Wylie: Blo-bzang Gpal-ldan Ye-shes; ZWPY: Lobsang Baidain Yêxê) was the Sixth Panchen Lama of Tashilhunpo Monastery in Tibet. He was distinguished by his writings and interest in the world. He befriended George Bogle, a Scottish adventurer and diplomat who had made an expedition to Tibet. The gold he naively sent as a gift to the Governor of India whetted Britain's interest in Tibet. He also travelled to China; however, shortly after arriving in Beijing, he contracted smallpox and died.
Lobsang Palden Yeshe was the elder brother of the 10th Shamarpa.
