The Eighth Dalai Lama (Jamphel Gyatso)
1758 CE–1804 CE · Modern · Thobgyal (Lhari Gang), Tsang
1758–1804 CE
Jamphel Gyatso (1758–1804 CE), the eighth Dalai Lama, was born in the Tsang region and enthroned in Lhasa as a young child in 1762. Of a retiring and devout temperament, he took relatively little part in government, which was run by regents for most of his life; he is chiefly remembered for building the Norbulingka, the Dalai Lamas' summer palace on the outskirts of Lhasa. He lived a comparatively long life for the mid-lineage Dalai Lamas, dying at about forty-six. His life and dates are well attested.
