The Gaden Tripa is not being mixed with the political scene because he is the Throne Holder or Spiritual Head of the Gelug School Buddhism. If the Gaden Tripa mixes with the political scene, it is very hard for him to help the growth in Buddhism. Reason being that he would be so involved with all the activities that he would not be able to focus on his main purpose of spreading Je Tsongkapa's teachings to the world.

There is a difference between the Gaden Tripa and Dalai Lama. Dalai Lama is only Tibet Leader and King whereas Gaden Tripa is the Throne Holder or Spiritual head of the Gelug School of Buddhism. There are more Gaden Tripas than the Dalai Lamas which had existed. The difference is there are only 14 Dalai Lamas and 102 Gaden Tripas. Gaden Tripas are appointed to their post while Dalai Lamas are reincarnations. The most recently retired Gaden Tripa now known as Gaden Trisur is Khensur Lungri Namgyal. And now 102nd Gaden Tripa is H.E. Jangtse Choeje Rizong Rinpoche Thupten Nynima Lingtok Tenzin Norbu. Je Tsongkapa is the founder and 1st Gaden Tripa of the Gelug School of Buddhism.

It is very useful when one needs to make a quick reference. The position of Gaden Tripa is not hereditary. Gaden Tripas are chosen based on their performance and service to the monastery and they command great respect from both lay and ordained people.
