The 5th Radreng Jampel Yeshe Rinpoche Gyeltshen was recognized by the 13th Dalai Lama. He was 1934-1941 " Regent of Tibet." In 1935, he was instrumental in the discovery of the 14th Dalai Lama, and later headed its enthronement. His successor was the third Tagdrag Trülku Ngawang Sungrab Thutob ( 1874-1952 ). 1947 Jampel Yeshe Gyeltshen was arrested and died in the same year in prison under the Potala Palace in Lhasa, probably due to poison. The monastery was plundered by Radreng Tibetan troops. The events in this context, which are also known as " Radreng intrigue " ( reting Conspiracy ), have almost led to a civil war in Tibet.
After 1947
After the death of Tenzin Jigme Rinpoche 5 Radreng Thutob Wangchuk was recognized by the Tibetan government than 6 Radreng Rinpoche. Tenzin Jigme Wangchuk Thutob remained after the flight of the 14th Dalai Lama in Tibet in 1959 and died in 1997. In 2000, after the flight of Ugyen Dorje Thrinle to India, the Chinese government announced the discovery of a 7 Radreng Rinpoche.
Another person raises the claim to the title of the 6th Radreng Rinpoche objects, however, the Tibetan government wanted to suppress the line of Radreng Rinpoche after the death of the 5th Radreng Rinpoche and an illegitimate candidate used as 6 Radreng Rinpoche.
