− | '''Ganden Tripa''' (Tib. དགའ་ལྡན་ཁྲི་པ་, [[Wyl.]] ''dga' ldan khri pa'') — The holder of the throne of [[Ganden Monastery]], the [[Ganden Tripa]], is the seniormost scholar and head of the [[Gelug|Gelugpa School]], and the direct successor [[Je Tsongkhapa]]. The route to the position of Ganden Tripa is a democratic one, as expressed in the Tibetan proverb: “if a mother's son has the right qualifications, then the Ganden throne is open to him”.<ref>Or: "If a mother's son has perseverance, Ganden's throne has no real owner." (''a ma'i bu la snying rus yod na/ dga' ldan khri la dam phrug med/'')</ref>

| |
− | Ganden Throneholders serve for a term of seven years, and candidates are either the [[Sharpa Chöjé]], the former abbot of [[Gyütö]], the Higher Tantric College, or [[Jangtsé Chöjé]], the former abbot of [[Gyümé]], the Lower Tantric College. Since the position alternates between these two, it usually takes up to fourteen years to become Ganden Tripa having become either Sharpa Chöjé or Jangtsé Chöjé.<ref>''Chö Yang'' (1996) p.60</ref>
