Tenzin Dalai Khan (mongolisch ᠭᠣᠨᠴᠣᠭᠳᠠᠯᠠᠢᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ gončuɣ dalai qaɣan, Гончиг Далай хаан Gonchig Dalai Khaan, †1696 oder 1701) war ein Fürst der westmongolischen Khoshuud, eines Unterstammes der Oiraten. Er war der Sohn und Nachfolger von Dayan Otschir Khan und regierte als dritter Khoshuud-Khan in Tibet von 1668 bis 1701. Sein Nachfolger war sein Sohn Tenzin Wangchug Khan.

Tenzin Dalai Khan war der Sohn von Dayan Otschir Khan, der von 1655 bis 1668 Khan von Tibet war, und Enkel von Gushri Khan.[1]

Dalai Khan übernahm die Tibetische Herrschaft nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1668. Zeitgleich verstarb auch der tibetische Regent (desi) Trinley Gyatso und wurde durch Lozang Thuthob ersetzt. Im ersten Jahr seiner Regentschaft führte Dalai Khan Krieg gegen Bhutan. Nachdem ein bhutanisches Heer den Süden Tibets und das angrenzende Arunachal Pradesh verwüstete, baten die dort siedelnden Monba den Khan um Unterstützung, der das bhutanische Heer vernichtend schlug. 1675 folgte ein ähnlicher Feldzug um einen bhutanischen Einfall in Sikkim aufzuhalten.


The reign of Tenzin Dalai Khan started inauspiciously. There were disturbances in the royal family in 1670 and there was therefore dissention among the Orö (Oirat) Mongols. The abbot of Gangchen, Konchok Rinchen, was dispatched by the Dalai Lama government and admonished the parties to keep the peace. An agreement was reached. Tenzin Dalai Khan then appeared in Lhasa in 1671 and was formally enthroned as "king of Tibet" on 11 April.[2] He was, however, a rather effaced and inactive type and stood in the shadow of the imposing Fifth Dalai Lama and the gifted desi Sangye Gyatso.[3] Only three documents are known to have been issued by him, while there are numerous preserved documents by Dalai Lama and his regent. One of them, from 1685, reads "Document of King Tenzin Dalai, the one who - by the order of the Dalai Lama Vajradhara - was empowered as the performer of the two [religious and secular] systems".[4] This clearly shows that he accepted a subordinated position vis-à-vis the Dalai Lama. He nevertheless played a role when hostilities with the kingdom of Ladakh erupted in 1679. Mongol and Tibetan troops were sent westwards under the first cousin of the king, Ganden Tsewang Palzang.[5] The troops fought their way past the mountain passes of West Tibet and were able to besiege the Ladakhi ruler Deleg Namgyal in his fortified capital Basgo. After a Bhutanese incarnate lama had mediated, an agreement was eventually reached. The Ladakhi ruler gave up Guge, Purang and Rudok to the Dalai Lama state. Ganden Tsewang Palzang was subsequently sent back to keep control over the subjugated area.[6]


The later years of Tenzin Dalai Khan are not much spoken of in the texts. He did not investigate the whereabouts of the Fifth Dalai Lama, whose death in 1682 was kept secret for many years by Sangye Gyatso. The Dzungar Khanate evolved as a major Inner Asian power in this era; its royal family was descended from one of the main allies of Güshi Khan and there were many marital ties between them and the Khoshut elite. Thus a daughter of Tenzin Dalai Khan, Kunga Rabten, married the Dzungar khong tayiji Tsewang Rabtan who later played a fateful role in the history of Tibet.[7] While Tenzin Dalai was acknowledged as the chogyal or Dharma king of Tibet, there were other Khoshut princes who had a role in local governance. By the end of the 17th century, two descendants of Güshi Khan called Lobsang Tenzin and Erdeni Jinong dominated Amdo and did not conform to the main ruling line.[8] Towards the end of Tenzin Dalai's life, his elder son Tenzin Wangchuk Khan fell out with his younger brother Lhabzang Khan. The desi Sangye Gyatso tried to mediate via envoys, but there were bloody disputes among the Khoshut elite at this time, and the meeting was not successful. The date of Tenzin Dalai Khan's death is given differently in the literature: 1696, 21 January 1701, 1703.[9] At any rate he was briefly succeeded by his elder son Tenzin Wangchuk Khan, soon to be murdered at the instigation of Lhabzang Khan.
