"He was much interested in our views on Russia’s policy and told us that in the old scriptures it was prophesied that a great power from the north would overrun Tibet, destroy religion, and make itself master of the whole world."

Frick! So a sort of a prophesied red scare that actually seems to have come true. Although, the trouble with such a view is that it leads to fatalism.

"He was a typical example of the younger generation. He had studied in India and was full of plans for reforming Tibet, though he had not yet ventured to stand up for his theories in the presence of the conservative monks."
