Desi Sanggye Gyatsho ( Tibetan : sde srid sangs rgyas rgya mtsho ; * 1653 near Lhasa ; † 1705 ) was an important scholar of the Gelug tradition of Buddhism in Tibet , author, statesman and Tibetan doctor .

Life

Sanggye Gyatsho was born the son of Drongmepa Asug (Tibetan: grong smad pa a sug ) and Buthri Gyelmo (Tibetan: bu khrid rgyal mo ) in 1653. At the age of eight he received sutra and tantra instruction from the 5th Dalai Lama (1617–1682). He was also trained in astrology, grammar and medicine from the best teachers of his time.

In 1679 Sanggye Gyatsho became "Desi" (Tibetan: sde srid ; regent) of the 5th Dalai Lama. After the death of the 5th Dalai Lama he kept his death a secret at the request of the deceased until the 6th Dalai Lama had reached the age of 13 and the “Red Palace” (Tibetan: thog khang dmar po ) of Potala was completed (1694 ). This led to disagreements with Emperor Kangxi . In 1696 he founded the first school for Tibetan medicine in Tibet on the Cagpori (Tibetan: lcags po ri ; the "Iron Mountain", south of the Potala). In 1702 Desi Sanggye Gyatsho resigned as regent and minister due to insurmountable differences with Lhabsang Khan . In 1705 Lhabsang Khan's wife had him murdered.
