Pabongkhapa Déchen Nyingpo

Pabongkhapa Déchen Nyingpo (; 1878–1941) was a Gelug lama in the modern era of Tibetan Buddhism. He obtained his Geshe degree at Sera Mey Monastic University in Lhasa and later became a teacher in Tibet. He also taught laypeople. Pabongkha was offered the regency of the present Dalai Lama but declined the request reportedly because "he strongly disliked political affairs." Provided by Wikipedia
