The Trijang incarnation line was established in the nineteenth century when Lobzang Tsultrim Pelden was recognized as the reincarnation of the Sixty-ninth Ganden Tripa, Trichen Jangchub Chopel Pelzangpo, and given the title of the Second Trijang. The Third Trijang, Lobzang Yeshe Tendzin Gyatso, one of the most prominent Geluk teachers of the twentieth century, was one of the two principal teachers of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.
