Khedrup Gelek Pelzang (Tib. མཁས་གྲུབ་རྗེ་)(1385–1438 CE) – better known as Khedrup Je – is considered the First Panchen Lama. Khedrub Je was one of the main disciples of Je Tsongkhapa (whose reforms to the Kadam tradition of Atisha are considered the beginnings of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism). Khedrub Je is considered to be an emanation of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom.

Sachen Kunga Nyinpo was the 3rd Sakya Trizin and son of Khon Konchok Gyalpo (1034–1102) who was the first Sakya Trizin and founder of the first Sakya Monastery in Tibet in 1073.

"Work began in July 2013, with hopes of completing the thanbhochi by 2018. Now in the final stretch, Dhargyal is focusing on fine detail work using 24-karat gold—and he is optimistic he will finish ahead of schedule."
Special thanks to Dana at Napa Sonoma Magazine for this lovely coverage on the progress of the #thanbhochi!

They say it takes a village. Tashi spent five years painting the thanbhochi - an unpaid labor of love and dedication. This morning, it made its way into Namgyal monastery in Bodh Gaya where it will be framed before it it is displayed behind the @dalailama at teachings beginning 12.24.18. #Thanbhochi #ThanbhochiJourney #TibetanArt #TashiDhargyal #Thangka #BuddhistArt #Buddhism #NalandaMasters #PreserveTibetanArt https://www.instagram.com/p/Brd-ZUQl2zW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10ktru2eah23y
Gyaltsab Je (Tib. རྒྱལ་ཚབ་རྗེ་) (1364–1432) or more elaborately, Gyaltsab Dharma Rinchen was born in the Tsang province of central Tibet. He was a famous student of Je Tsongkhapa, and actually became the first Ganden Tripa (throne holder) of the Gelug tradition after Je Tsongkhapa’s death. Gyaltsab Je was a prolific writer; one of his most famous texts is a commentary on A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way Of Life.
