Encyclopedic overview
Trinley Gyatso also spelled: Thinle Gyatso (Tibetan: འཕྲིན་ལས་རྒྱ་མཚོ།, Wylie: Phrin Las Rgya Mtsho) (28 December 1856 – 25 April 1875) was the 12th Dalai Lama of Tibet.
His short life coincided with a time of major political unrest and wars among Tibet's neighbours. The British Empire, which controlled India, was expanding its influence northwards, while the Qing dynasty, weakened by the Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion, lost influence in Tibet, leaving the Tibetans politically adrift.
