In the 17th century, the sudden death of the 5th Dalai Lama created a huge problem for Tibet. Fearing being taken over by the Qing Dynasty, the Tibetan theocracy just...pretended that the 5th was still alive. For 14 years. And during this time they searched for the 6th. And when they found him...he wasn't quite what they expected. On this season 3 premiere episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the fascinating story of Tsangyang Gyatso, The Drunken Dalai Lama. -- Get the Mystery Treehouse Simple Code Hybrid Album and Comic! https://bit.ly/simplecodecomic Watch the Simple Code Comic Album Video Trailer! https://bit.ly/simplecodetrailer -- Join our Discord server! https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/6INdubx1dAEKNwuoWzs9Oo?si=z4ljoBAYTFqRXKWVzvWEfg Learn more about your ad choices.
