 Episode 5 of The History of Tibet delves into the violent civil war that tore Tibet apart in the early 17th century, a conflict pitting the Yellow Hat Gelug sect against the Red Hat Karma Kagyu and their powerful patrons, the Tsang kings. We trace the rise of Sonam Choepel, the shrewd Gelug agent who forged an alliance with the Mongol Gushri Khan, leading to the invasion of Tsang. The dramatic siege of Shigatse, the destruction of Tashilhunpo Monastery, and the eventual victory that installed the 5th Dalai Lama as supreme ruler are all covered in vivid detail. We also explore the role of the rival Karma Kagyu lamas, the political maneuvering of the Tsangpa dynasty, and the brutal massacre of the Red Hat monks at Samding. This episode sheds light on a pivotal yet often overlooked turning point that shaped the theocratic rule of the Dalai Lamas for centuries.
