Gyaincain Norbu

Gyaincain Norbu (Tibetan: ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྒྱལ་པོ་་, Wylie: Chos-kyi Rgyal-po, ZYPY: Qoigyijabu; also Gyaltsen Norbu, born 13 February 1990) is, according to the government of the People's Republic of China, the eleventh Panchen Lama of Tibetan Buddhism. He is also the vice president of the Buddhist Association of China and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Norbu was selected by the drawing of his name from a Golden Urn. The People's Republic of China favored this method of selecting reincarnations, as opposed to the other traditional Tibetan method of recognition by senior lamas. Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, the boy selected by the 14th Dalai Lama and members of the Tibetan government in exile, has been detained by the Chinese Government since the exile government selected him. Neither the Chinese nor the Tibetan exile governments recognize each other's selection for the Panchen Lama.
