Tenzin Jigme

Tenzin Jigme (Thutob Wangchuk) (Lhasa, 1948 – February 13, 1997) was a Tibetan tulku and the sixth Reting Rinpoche.

Tenzin Jigme was identified as the reincarnation of the fifth Reting Rinpoche Jamphel Yeshe Gyaltsen in 1951 and enthroned in 1955.

In 1956 (eight years old) he was the first to be assigned to the Tibet Committee of the Buddhist Association of China.

During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) he was publicly denounced by the authorities because of his religious position.

Comparably with the tenth Panchen Lama he was married and lived as a layman.
