The 103rd Gaden Tripa Jetsun Lobsang Tenzin Rinpoche died in a Delhi hospital following an illness. He was appointed Gaden Tripa, the spiritual head of the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism, by HH the Dalai Lama last October. He was born in Tibet in 1937 and followed His Holiness into exile in 1959. The Gelug school was founded by Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), the first Ganden Tripa.
