Shigatse is the second largest city in Tibet. It is the seat of Panchen Lama who ranks close to the Dalai Lama. The Panchen Lama is a reincarnation of Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light. Currently, the 10th Panchen Lama (according to China) 'reigns' from Beijing. Another 10th Panchen Lama, the 6-year-old boy Gedun Choekyi Nyima was announced in May 1995 by the Dalai Lama.
