Tenzin
Tenzin ( bo, བསྟན་འཛིན) is a Tibetan given name, meaning "the holder of Buddha Dharma". Tenzin can alternatively be spelled as Tenzing and Stanzin as well. Stanzin is generally used by the Ladakhi people, since Ladakhi language retains many archaic forms which have been lost in other modern Tibetan languages. For example, in Standard Written Tibetan, 'Tenzin' is spelled as "bstan'zin"; however, when it is spoken, both the 'b' and the 's' are silent and 'an' becomes 'en' in Standard Lhasa Tibetan. It may refer to any of the following people: Biographical people * Gyalsey Tenzin Rabgye (1638–1696), fourth Druk Desi (secular ruler) of Bhutan * Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen (1895–1977), leader of a non-sectarian movement within Buddhism * Lobsang Tenzin (born 1939), Prime Minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile * Lopön Tenzin Namdak (born 1926), Tibetan religious leader * Tenzin Choedrak (1922–2001), personal physician to the Dalai Lama * Tenzin Delek Rinpo ...
