Recognized as the 11th Penchen Lama

On January 28, 1989, the 10th Penchen Lama died in Xigazê . In Tibet , a search team from Trashilhünpo Monastery was formed to find his reincarnation . With the approval of the Chinese government, this group was also in contact with the Tibetan government in exile and asked the Dalai Lama in writing to participate in the selection process. At the end of 1994 the search team sent him a detailed list with photos of the candidates; but when he declared Gendün Chökyi Nyima (Tib .: dge 'dun chos kyi nyi ma ) to be the 11th Penchen Lama in May 1995 without consulting the search team in Tibet or the Chinese government , the Chinese authorities refused to contact was canceled and on November 29, 1995 Gyeltshen Norbu was determined by the search team in Tibet to be the reincarnation of the Penchen Lama by drawing from the " Golden Urn " in the Jokhang in Lhasa and was given the religious name Chökyi Gyelpo (Erdeni Lobsang Champa Lhündrub Chökyi Gyelpo).

Ballot box

The polling system , i. H. some degree of control by the Chinese government over the determination of reincarnations of the Dalai and Penchen Lama had been introduced under the Qing Emperor Qianlong in 1792 , many years after the 7th Dalai Lama in the wake of a 1720 against the Djungars Army deployed in Tibet had been installed. In 1808, the Chinese government allowed Tibetans to elect the 9th Dalai Lama without voting, but although the real influence of the Qing dynasty was greatly reduced from 1840, the urn was used in 1841 and 1858.
