I read that Geshe Thubten Trinley was supposed to go to Shar Ganden this year to give teachings but the MPAD (permit to enter Tibetan colony) was rejected because he is a Dorje Shugden practitioner . Politics got in the way of propogation of Buddhadharma yet again. Geshe Thubtten Trinley was teaching in Shar Gaden for nearly one and half months in 2012 and now Geshe-la is not allowed entry.
Rejoice to see Geshe Thubten Trinley in Mongolia. Geshe Thubten is well known for his Lamrim teaching. I remember Geshe Thubten has given Lamrim Teachings in Shar Gaden before, as well as conducts weekly teaching in Rabten Choeling in Switzerland.

The third head lama of the Gelug school, Sonam Gyatso (1543-1588) converted the Mongol leader Altan Khan to Buddhism. It is commonly believed that Altan Khan originated the title Dalai Lama, meaning "Ocean of Wisdom," in 1578 to give to Sonam Gyatso. Others point out that since gyatso is Tibetan for "ocean," the title "Dalai Lama" simply might have been a Mongol translation of Sonam Gyatso's name -- Lama Gyatso.
