The spiritual leader of Tibet whose traditional palace, the Potala, is a central fixture of the capital city of Lhasa. The Dalai Lama does not himself live much in the Potala, David-Neel writes, spending most of his time at an estate outside Lhasa. David-Neel indicates that she has met the Dalai Lama before while he was living outside Tibet. She views him once again in Lhasa, from the crowd during a new-year ceremony.
