...southwest of Peiping, the great Dalai Lama, Venerable Ocean Treasure and Jewel of Majesty, had gone to his Nirvana, aged 60, in the Potala, his massive fortress-palace in Lhasa high on the bleak plateau of Tibet. Dead, some said, of poisoning, was the 13th reincarnation of Buddha, absolute ruler of Tibet and of many a Buddhist elsewhere, Ah-Wang-Lo-Pu-Tsang-To-Pu-Tan -Chia-Ta-Chi-Chai- Wang-Chu-Chueh-Le-Lang-Chieh, otherwise known as Ngag-Wang Lobsang Thubden Gya-Tsho.
