Panchen Lama song by Yadong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaCf6c3XVN4

The 10th Panchen Lama became the most important political and religious figure in Tibet following the 14th Dalai Lama's escape to India in 1959.

The title of 'Panchen Lama' or 'Panchen Rinpoche,' meaning 'Great Scholarly Lama,' has been given to successive abbots of the Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse. He is regarded as the embodiment of the Buddha Amitabha (Opame).

The 10th Panchen Lama (1938-89) was enthroned in 1951.
