Bogdo Lama

in Mongolian religion, is the personification of the eternally lasting incarnation of the god Xaka, or Fo. He was one thousand years old before our time of reckoning, born of a pure maiden, spread a purified doctrine, and was translated alive into heaven; but his spirit rested upon an innocent boy, who now represents him. (See LAMA).
