LAMA'S ARRIVAL IN LHASA 387
listened to by the Minister. This message, which was
delivered on February 21, was to the effect that, having
arrived in Lhasa territory, the Dalai Lama was concerned
to find that active measures were being taken in the
country by Chinese troops, and hoped that anything our
Minister could do would be done. This messenger,
though he had denied that he was the bearer of any other

Mission in Lhasa, and for withdrawing from the country

troops in Eastern Tibet, especially in the destruction of a
large monastery near Li'tang, in retaliation for the murder
of a Chinese Amban ; and the Tibetans had a story that
when they destroyed the monastery the Chinese soldiers
used the sacred Buddhist books for making soles to their
boats.
