"The high floating." 3ftho, high, elevated; lding, to fly, float.
The name is an allusion to its great height (12,369 ft.), as well as to its high rank
amongst the monasteries. It was built, according to Ssanang Ssetsen's "History of the
Eastern Mongolians" (edited by I. J. Schmidt, St. Petersburg, 1829, p. 53), as early as
1014 A.D., and it is still remarkably well preserved. Its various temples and establish-
ments extend over a large surface and are enclosed by a common wall, though not strong
enough to be called a fortification; the lay brothers, chiefly cultivators, live outside the wall.
The head Lama, called Khanpo, is appointed by the Dalai Lama's government, and re-
mains in office from three to six years.
