There it is also said, that Drakpa Gyaltsen (1619-1656) was the fake fourth reincarnation of Penchen Sonam Drakpa (1478-1554). :Austerlitz -- 88.75.72.76 (talk) 10:02, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Who is (was) Trulku Gelek Palsang? :Austerlitz -- 88.75.72.76 (talk) 10:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Incarnation no. 3
He has been the Ganden Tripa as one can read here "Shartsey College uses the textbooks of the Fifteenth Ganden Tripa, Panchen Sonam-dragpa (Pan-chen bSod-nams grags-pa) (1478-1554), ".

 * "- it was widely known that after Drakpa Gyaltsen’s death, the upper Chamber, his residential palace, was haunted by a very harmful spirit."

upper chamber; the upper chamber has been his residential palace is said here. Are there different/various upper chambers in Tibetan Buddhism, or does this term always refer to Ganden?

sorry, seems as if I've erred in numbers, incarnation no. 3 on the site of the article is Sonam Gelek Palzang (1594-1615) and not Panchen Sonam-dragpa.

quote from above link no.3: "Old records show that there were two centres of power in Drepung: the so-called lower chamber associated with the Dalai Lamas-to-be, and the upper chamber associated with the descendants of Sonam Drakpa, an illustrious teacher who died in 1554."

quote from above link no.4: "Due to the antagonism between the Ganden Phodrang of the Fifth Dalai Lama and the upper chamber of Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen and because of inner and outer inauspiciousness this problem arose."

His mother
Extract from the autobiography of the Fifth Dalai Lama called Dukulai Gosang, Volume Kha, Lhasa Publication "Because of the manipulations of Lag Agyal (the mother) of Gekhasa, the false reincarnation of Tulku Sonam Geleg Palsang (Tulku Dakpa Gyaltsen) got his way (and was installed as the successful candidate)." The name given on Anti-Shugden Page is obviously right.

Information from Dalai Lama Site

 * "[H.H.- Gekhasa was the location of Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen�s (1617-56) birthplace. Lak Ahgyal was the name of Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen�s mother. She seems to have been a very capable women. To begin with there had even been a rumour that her son was the reincarnation of Gyalwa Yonten Gyatso (the Fourth Dalai Lama). Gekhasa is probably in Toelung. Therefore, the text says, �because Lak Ahgyal was so clever and skilful the false reincarnation of Tulku Sonam Geleg Palzang was successful�.

Tulku Sonam Gelek Palsang was the reincarnation of Dho-Ngag Rabjam M�awa Panchen Sonam Drakpa (1478-1554). Then, because of Ahgyal�s skilful manipulation Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen came to be known as the reincarnation of Gelek Palsang. However, this text states that he was indeed a mistaken and false reincarnation. When the text says �he was successful� it means that even though he was the false reincarnation, he succeeded in maintaining his position as the real incarnation. Then it says,]"

 * The Third Dalai Lama, Sonam Gyatso "In 1546, at the age of three, Sonam Dakpa Gyaltsen, the ruler of Tibet, and Panchen Sonam Dakpa recognized him as the reincarnation of Gedun Gyatso. He was escorted to Drepung monastery in a great procession and was enthroned and his hair was cut, symbolizing his renunciation of the world. He took novice vows from Sonam Dakpa at the age of seven and assumed the name of Sonam Gyatso. At the age of twenty-two, he took the Gelong vows (full ordination) of Bhiksu from Gelek Palsang."

Here it is said that Sönam Gelek Pelzang (1594-1615) has been the fourth incarnation, or trülku, in the Drepung Zimkhang Gong ma line.

One footnote (13) says: "E. Gene Smith has also studied the history of Dorje Shukden and his cult, but his work remains unpublished. Interestingly, hiwever, his work appears to be the earliest scholarship on Shukden and his cult, predating not only the murders of Lozang Gyamtso and his students, but also the current Dalai Lama's first public disavowal of the deity, which, as we have seen, occurred 1976. A reference to this work can be found in Jackson 2003 p. 729. the work itself is a paper presented to the Inner Asia Colloquium at the University of Washington on July 25, 1963."

Some news

 * Drepung: An Introduction by Georges Dreyfus (April 10, 2006)

"Before his death in 1554, Sönam Drakpa established his own estate, the Upper Chamber (Zimkhang Gongma), which was named because of its location at the top of Drepung, just below the Ngakpa debating courtyard. It is hard to know whether the creation of this estate represents an attempt by Sönam Drakpa to rival the Dalai Lama, but such rivalry did eventually develop, ending with the tragic death of Drakpa Gyeltsen, Sönam Drakpa’s second reincarnation and the rival of the Fifth Dalai Lama, followed by the discontinuation of this major reincarnation lineage."

Search for his reincarnation has been banned
Why? I wonder. And by whom? As far as I have heard(read), some of the Dalai Lamas and other high Lamas have been killed during history. But their reincarnations have not been banned, as far as I've come to know. Maybe they were not angry. Today I've read about one other type of ban, ,"He [the 10th Shamarpa] was exiled from Tibet and a ban placed on his future incarnations, thereby abolishing the Shamarpa line.[8][9] In 1963, following a request from the 16th Karmapa, the Tibetan government lifted the ban.[10]"
