The Tenth Dalai Lama (Tsultrim Gyatso)
1816 CE–1837 CE · Modern · Lithang (Litang)
1816–1837 CE (died young, aged about twenty-two)
Tsultrim Gyatso (1816–1837 CE), the tenth Dalai Lama, was born at Lithang in eastern Tibet and brought to Lhasa as the recognized reincarnation of his predecessor. Like the other mid-lineage Dalai Lamas of this period, he died young—at about twenty-two—and held little real political power, the government remaining in the hands of regents. He is recorded as having had several disciples, but left no major mark on events. His dates are attested.
