Yeshe Rinchen

Yeshe Rinchen (Wylie: Ye shes rin c'en; Chinese: 亦攝思連真) (1248 - 1294) was a Tibetan Imperial Preceptor (Dishi) at the court of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty.

The first three Dishi belonged to the Khon lineage, members of which were hereditary abbots of the Sakya Monastery.

The disciples of the abbots Sakya Pandita and Phagpa were grouped in the so-called Three Schools, namely the eastern (Shar), western (Nub) and middle (Gun).

[2] Yeshe Rinchen was born into the Sharpa lineage in 1248, being the son of Chukpo Jetsun Kyab.

[4] The tenure of Yeshe Rinchen coincided with the great Tibetan rebellion headed by the Drigung Monastery in 1287–1290, which was finally crushed by the administrator Aglen.
