General note
Previously described under China - Tibet - Ta Chien Lu - Religious Life and Customs - Lamasery - A young Lama Printed note on verso reads: Tibet 19.--Here is a young Lama attached to a Lamasery not far from the King's Yamen in Tachienlu. In the background is a stone erection with a large number of prayer flags suspended on poles above it. Notice the great teapot in the young Lama's hands. It is made of wood hooped with iron or brass, and would contain several gallons of tea. The Tibetans use what is called "buttered tea." That is to say, the tea is first infused, and then an quantity of butter is added, and the whole churned up together in churns made for the purpose. When the butter is fresh, the brew is not at all unpalatable ; but when the butter is extremely rancid, as is generally the case, the taste must be altogether too pronounced to be pleasant. Tibet is practically ground under the heel of the Lamas. Everywhere the land is filled with these great Lamaseries containing hundreds--in some cases many hundreds--of these Buddhist monks, and they hold the people with a grip of iron.
