Who was the ninth Dalai Lama?
The 9th Dalai Lama's religious name was Lungtok Gyatso. He died at only 9 years of age, and was the first of three Dalai Lamas to die before reaching 20. He was made the Dalai Lama in 1907 when he was just 1 year old. Thomas Manning, an English sinologist who was famous for being one of the first people to study Chinese culture in great depth, and was the first Englishman allowed to enter Lhasa, visited the 9th Dalai Lama in 1812, when he was 7. He said, 'The lama's beautiful and interesting face engrossed all my attention,' Manning wrote. 'He had the simple, unaffected manners of a well-educated princely child. His face was, I thought, affectingly beautiful. He was of a gay and cheerful disposition. I was extremely affected by this interview with the lama. I could have wept through strangeness of sensation.' The Dalai Lama died from a severe cold on 6th March 1815, and as a result the whole of China was plunged into (mental) depression until the reincarnation of the next Dalai Lama, Tsultrim Gyatso.
