Taktser Rinpoche (; ) is a Tibetan lama of the Gelugpa school. Thupten Jigme Norbu, the brother of Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, was recognized in Tibetan Buddhism as his reincarnation. On September 5, 2008, Norbu, 86, died at his Indiana, USA home after illness for many years. He was survived by his wife Kunyang Norbu, and 3 sons. ==Takster Lama== Thupten Jigme Norbu's predecessor as the Takster Rinpoche, known as Takster Lama, was Norbu's and his brother the 14th Dalai Lama's paternal grandmother's elder brother, in other words their great uncle. One of the 30 or so reincarnated lamas who were part of Kumbum Monastery's tradition, he had been recognised as the Takster Lama some time in the 1860s, taken from his family and raised and educated at Kumbum.〔Thondup, Thurston 2015, pp.5-8.〕 Kumbum is a monastery of the Gelugpa tradition. During political turmoil, Takster Lama left Kumbum to live in Mongolia for several decades at the end of the 19th century. Mongolians being fervent devotees of the Gelugpa school, he was able to develop a devoted following there. Thanks to his Mongolian disciples' generous offerings, at the start of the 20th century he returned to Kumbum Monastery a wealthy lama; he was said to have owned 10,000 camels.〔Thondup, Thurston 2015, pp.5-8.〕 Takster Lama then utilised his newly accumulated wealth to benefit his family in Takster village, including the parents of his eventual successor Thupten Jigme Norbu. He bought back 45 acres of land they had lost when Manchu troops, in quelling a late-19th century rebellion had destroyed the entire village of Takster and driven the family away to live in caves in poverty. They were also enabled to build a new, large home where Thupten Jigme Norbu as well as the future 14th Dalai Lama were eventually born.〔Thondup, Thurston 2015, pp.3, 4, 6 et seq.〕 At this time, Takster Lama came to know the 13th Dalai Lama, who twice stayed long periods at Kumbum, firstly to avoid the Younghusband Expedition to Lhasa in 1904 and again in 1909 when returning to Lhasa after a trip to Beijing. By his support of the Dalai Lama's reform at Kumbum Monastery and his strict re-enforcement of monastic discipline, which had degenerated, Takster Lama won the Dalai Lama's respect but became unpopular with his fellow monks; when the Dalai Lama left for Lhasa Takster Lama also left for some years. He returned to Kumbum and Takster by the time of Thupten Jigme Norbu's parents' wedding in 1917, and died there a year or two later.〔Thondup, Thurston 2015, pp.6-8.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taktser Rinpoche」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
