Trinley Gyatso (January 26, 1857 – April 25, 1875), also spelled Trinle Gyatso and "Thinle Gyatso", was the 12th Dalai Lama of Tibet. He is sometimes referred to by the name Je-tsun Nga-wang Lo-zang Ten-pai Gyal-tsen Khyen-rab Trin-ley Gya-tso Pal-zang-po but is more commonly known as Je-tsun Lo-zang Ten-pai Gyal-tsen Trin-ley Gya-tso Pal-zang-po [Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche. (1982). "Life and times of the Eighth to Twelfth Dalai Lamas." "The Tibet Journal". Vol. VII Nos. 1 & 2. Spring/Summer 1982, p. 51.]
His short life coincided with a time of major political unrest and wars among Tibet's neighbours. Tibet particularly suffered from the weakening of the Qing Dynasty which formerly offered it some outside support against the British Empire which was aiming to influence Tibet as an expansion from its colonisation of India.
He was recognised as a reincarnation of the Dalai Lama in 1860 and enthroned on 14 August that year. During his period of training as a child, Tibet banned Europeans from entering the country because of wars Britain was fighting against Sikkim and Bhutan, both of whom were controlled to a considerable degree by the lamas in Lhasa. These wars were seen as efforts to colonise Tibet - something seen as unacceptable by the lamas. Also, with missionaries threatening to enter Tibet via the Mekong and Salween Rivers, Tibet ceased recognising the authority of the Manchu government for the same reason.
Trinley Gyatso was fully enthroned as Dalai Lama on March 11, 1873 but could not stamp his full authority on Tibet because he died of a mysterious illness in April, 1875. [Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche. (1982). "Life and times of the Eighth to Twelfth Dalai Lamas." "The Tibet Journal". Vol. VII Nos. 1 & 2. Spring/Summer 1982, p. 54.]
