Westerners refer to him in introductions as "Your Holiness".

This has some problems in translation as the absence of a deity in Buddhism implies that nothing is "Holy".

Tibetans refer to him in the third person as a representative attribute such as Gyalwa Rinpoche, meaning "Precious Victor", or Yishin Norbu, meaning "Wish-fulfilling Jewel." This is similar to the Japanese reference to the emperor during the Shogunate as the Mikado (the door to the Emperor's chamber)
