Drunken Dalai Lama | Case File #104

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.
