The 11th Panchen Lama, or Panchen Erdeni (secular name: Gyaincain Norbu), has been recognized as the reincarnated child of the 10th Panchen Lama on November 29, 1995 after the “lot-drawing from the golden urn” in front of Buddha Shakyamuni Statue in Jokhang Monastery and the approval of the State Council.

Gyaincain Norbu was born on February 13, 1990 in an ordinary family in Lhari County in northern Tibet Autonomous Region. His father Soinam Chaghba and mother Sanggyai Zhoima have both completed their primary school education.

They gave birth to a beautiful boy with fair skin, bright shiny eyes with a mole on his right face. His face resembled a Buddha, thus Sanggyai Zhoima’s father named his grandson “Gyaincain Norbu”, which means “The holy victory banner”.
