Dzong of Rinpung ( German Tibet Expedition Ernst Schäfer )

The Rinpungpa dynasty or Rinpungpa for short ( Tib . : rin spungs pa ; approx. 1478 to 1565) was a secular Tibetan rule in central Tibet, which controlled large parts of western Tibet and parts of central Tibet from the late 15th century to the 16th century. The seat of the ruling house was in today's Rinpung County of Shigatse. Later, the secular Tsangpa rule replaced the secular Phagmodrupa and the Rinpungpa founded by Changchub Gyeltshen in 1349 .

Originally the Rinpungpa feudal lords of Rinpung ( rin spungs ) in Tsang (west-central Tibet), the family took advantage of a family feud within the Phagmodrupa in the years 1434-35 and took the important site Samdrubtse ( bsam grub rtse , i. E. Samzhubzê ) a. The family members were patrons of the Karma Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism , who were enemies with the Gelugpa . While they continued to recognize the Phagmodrupa , they subsequently built a strong position and - like the Phamodrupa rulers - carried the title Desi (Regent). The Rinpungpa ruler Ngawang Jigme Dragpa ( ngag dbang 'jigs med grags pa ) was finally defeated by Karma Tsheten (Shingshapa Tsheten Dorje) in 1565 and the new Tsangpa dynasty was founded.

history

The 5th Phagdru Desi ( phag gru sde srid ) ruler ( srid dbang ) Dragpa Gyeltshen ( grags pa rgyal mtshan ; 1374–1440) appointed Namkha Gyeltshen ( nam mkha 'rgyal mtshan ) to the office of district governor ("district chairman") ( rdzong dpon ) from Rinpung and at the same time appointed him Sakya Pönchen ( sa skya dpon chen ) and leader ( khri dpon ) of the Chumig ( chu mig ) ten thousand . Afterwards Rinpung Künsang ( rin spungs kun bzang ) supported the Sakya school. In 1449 he founded in Dreyül ( 'bras yul ) monastic college ( bshad grwa ) Kyemotshel ( ' bras yul skyed mo tshal ), in 1478 he founded the monastery Tanak Thubten Namgyal ( rta nag thub bstan rnam rgyal ), his son Dönyö Dorje ( don yod rdo rje ) attacked central Tibet ( dbus ) in 1481 , replacing the main body of the Phagdru government in Nêdong ( sne'u gdong ). 1490 he helped the red hat lama Chödrag Yeshe ( chos grags ye shes ; 1453-1524) - the fourth Shamarpa ( zhwa dmar pa ) - in the founding of the monastery Yangpachen ( yangs pa can ), the future seat of this important Trülku - line the Karma Kagyu school ( karma bka 'brgyud ). The Rinpung rule lasted until 1565 when it was overthrown by its official Shingshapa Tsheten Dorje ( zhing shag pa tshe brtan rdo rje ) (see article Tsangpa dynasty ).
