Lasa

— The head of the Buddhist religion for the Mongols is Dalai Lama who dwells in Lasa, Tibet. They believe that whatever comes from Tibet is holy and the Tibetan priests take full advantage of this faith of the Mongol people to enrich themselves. The Mongols in great caravans make pilgrimages to this holy city, Lasa, though they must pass through deserts with drifting sands and through rivers and over mountains and are plundered by robbers, and many fall by the way.
