| | Ganden Monastery - The First Gelug Monastery |
| | "Ganden" is the Tibetan name for the paradise of the Buddha of the Future. | | | As a result, the Ganden Tripa has traditionally been a strong candidate for the position of Regent within the Tibetan government at such times when the Dalai Lama was in his minority, absent or, as on occasion, deceased. | | | According to scriptures, the arrival of this Buddha will herald the end of the world's sufferings. |

| | Ganden Tripa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Ganden Tripa (Holder of the Ganden Throne; Wylie: Dga'-ldan Khri-pa) is the title of the spiritual leader of the Gelug (Dge-lugs) school of Tibetan Buddhism, the school which controlled central Tibet from the mid-1600s until 1950. | | | Either Tsongkapa (Tsong-ka-pa) (1357–1419), who founded the Gelug sect, or his successor, Gyaltsab Je (Rgyal-tshab-rje), may be considered to have been the first Ganden Tripa. | | | The Ganden Tripa is an appointed office, not a reincarnation lineage. |

| | Ganden monastery was founded in 1409 by Je Tsongkhapa, who was also the founder of the Gelug school. | | | Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the monks of Ganden joined with their colleagues at Drepung and Sera and formed a reactionary political force that hindered the dramatic reforms that were introduced under the rule of the 13th Dalai Lama. | | | During its history, Ganden became a Mecca for the faithful followers of the Gelug sect. |
