Lachen Gongpa Rabsel ( T. bla chen dgongs pa rab gsal ; 832 (?) -915 (?)) Is the founder of the Dentig monastery . He was ordained by three monks known as the ' Three Wise Men from Tibet ' who had fled “Central Tibet” to avoid persecution by King Lang Darma (ruled 836–842 or 901–907). Gongpa Rabsel ordained the "ten monks from Ü and Tsang ", including Lume , and thus continued the line of tradition. The 13th Dalai Lama and the current 14th  Dalai Lama , the Buddhist monk Tendzin Gyatsho , are also holders of this ordination line.
