DOMESTIC AND POPULAR LAMA ISM.
i-VMAISM is not merely a monastic brotherhood; it is
we must, in a former life, have been friends, who now have met
again in this life, through the force of Karma. Similarly as re-
gards the lower animals. A Tibetan seeing my dog and pony
playing good-naturedly together, explained the situation by say-
ing that in a former birth these two must have been mates.
Even practices which are clearly dishonest and sinful, are at
of all classes in Tibet. Wild animals, and even small birds, are
seldom killed, nor fish, on account of the religious penalties at-
tached to this crime, hence game is so extremely abundant in
the country. Yet human prisoners are, at times, most cruelly
tortured ; though this
probably is owing, in
some measure, to the
example set by the
Chinese, as well as
the necessity for some
violent punishment to
check the commission
of crime. Nearly every
offence, even to the
most heinous, the mur-
dering of a Lama, may
be condoned by a fixed

The names of both boys and girls are largely borrowed
personal
from mystical Buddhism, for instance " The Thunderbolt of Long-
Life" (Dorje-ts'e-rin), "Polma" (the Indian goddess of Mercy,
Tara) and the influence of the religious habit is also seen in

names of places.

The common oaths are mainly of a Buddhist character. The
oath so much in the mouth of the merchants, and used at times
by most of the laity as an asseveration in ordinary conversation, is
" (by) the precious Lord (Sakya Muni )!" 5 or "(by) The Three Rarest

The other Oaths used in Tibet are: "May I die ere sunset" (Si-ma 'di-las tsV-
t'uh) " may my mother be separated " (a-ma-dah bral). In Tsang a common oath is
;
" May my life be separated " (srog-dah bral pron hrok ta-te). The monks of De-pung
;
.
Serra, etc., swear by their own tutelary Tamdin, or Vajra-bhairava: "May Tam-
din devour me" (rta-mgrin-te'es). And in the courts when the great oath is taken,
which is seldom, it is done by the person placing a holy scripture on his head, and
sitting on the reeking hide of an ox and eating a part of the ox's heart. The expense
1 this ceremony is borne by the party who challenges the accused. In Sikhim the

common oaths are " May I die " (s'i-ge) " May I go to hell " (na-rak-kan) " May I

bs'es bchug).

Prayers ever hang upon the people's lips. The prayers are
chiefly directed to thedevils, imploring them for freedom or
release from their cruel inflictions, or they are plain naive
requests for aid towards obtaining the good things of this life,
the loaves and the fishes. At all spare times, day and night.

The general, Mirza Haidar, writes " On the day appointed, I :
approached the fort (of Mutadar in Nubra), and the talons of Islam
seizing the hands of Infidelity, the enemy were thrown into dis-
order and routed. Having deserted the fort, they fled in confusion
and dismay, while the Musalmans gave them chase as far as was
possible, so that not one of these bewildered people escaped.
Burkapa was slain, all his men, and their heads
