"the imperial family were also devout Buddhists."

Do you have a link for this?




This was the era I was referring to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Urn

I was wrong about the dates. It was late 1700s not late 1800s.

This paper is the one I read. It is a book review: https://academia.edu/resource/work/40611694

The book being reviewed is titled, Forging the Golden Urn: the Qing Empire and the Politics of Reincarnation in Tibet. Max Oidtmann
