waxed silk, it was laid on a palanquin, or kind of bier; and in this manner 
conveyed, upon mens’ shoulders, during the journey to their own country; 
which, on account of the many halts that it was found necessary to make, 
lasted for seven months and eight days, from the day of their departure from 
Pekin, until their arrival at Digurchee, or Teshoo Loomboo, the place of the 
Lama’s residence when he lived. Here his remains were deposited in a 
most superb pagoda, or monument, built for that purpose. 
And the two temples of gold and copper, brought from Pekin, were care¬ 
fully reformed, and set up in the pagoda, or monument, immediately over 
the spot where the corpse was laid. 
Nothing but the great reverence and respect, paid to the Lama in his life 
time, by the inhabitants of the different countries through which he passed 
to China, could equal the attention observed by them to his remains, all the 
way, as he was carried back again : the multitude continually crowding 
round the coffin, with their prayers, and presents ; and those who could only 
touch it, or even the palanquin, or bier, upon which it was borne, were 
considered as peculiarly blessed.
