The Treasury of Lives

An important Geluk incarnation line in Amdo with seats at Lamo Dechen, Labrang Tashikyil and Ditsa monasteries. The line dates from the mid-17th century. Ditsa was founded in 1903 by the Fourth Amdo Zhamar Gendun Tendzin Gyatso. The Sixth Amdo Zhamar, Lobzang Jigme Tendzin Gyatso, was forced to spend much of his short life herding cattle due to the Cultural Revolution.
