"One night in winter several horsemen rode into the monastery and demanded that all the Gelongs and Getuls with the Hutuktu and Kanpo at their head should congregate in this room.

Then one of the strangers mounted the throne, where he took off his bashlyk or cap-like head covering.

All of the Lamas fell to their knees as they recognized the man who had been long ago described in the sacred bulls of Dalai Lama, Tashi Lama and Bogdo Khan.

He was the man to whom the whole world belongs and who has penetrated into all the mysteries of Nature.

He pronounced a short Tibetan prayer, blessed all his hearers and afterwards made predictions for the coming half century.
