Lobsang Pelden Tenpe Dronme
Lobsang Pelden Tenpe Dronme (Tibetan: ལྕང་སྐྱ་བློ་བཟང་དཔལ་ལྡན་བསྟན་པའི་སྒྲོན་མེ་, Wylie: lcang skya blo bzang dpal ldan bstan pa'i sgron me, Chinese: 羅桑般殿丹畢蓉梅; pinyin: Luósāng Bāndiàn Dānbì Róngméi) (born 1890 in Datong, Qinghai – died March 4, 1957, in Taipei, Taiwan) was a clergyman of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and the 7th Changkya Khutukhtu. He was the highest person of Tibetan Buddhism in Inner Mongolia[citation needed] and the fourth highest lamas of Tibetan Buddhism[citation needed] in general. He supported the Kuomintang and accompanied the Republic of China government to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War in 1949.[1] He was awarded titles by the Kuomintang and also received living expenses until his death.[2] It is believed that before his death in 1957 he had signed a pledge that he would not reincarnate until the Republic of China retook the mainland.[3]
After his death, his residence in Taipei was converted in February 1993 into the Mongolian and Tibetan Cultural Center, which includes a memorial to him.
