"Living in the Potala Palace" was written by Tsangyang Gyatso himself.
"The Love Song of Cangyang Gyatso" is a rare flower in the Tibetan poetry world. Although the author is a religious leader, he dared to write about people's inner conflicts and ideals about real life, broke through the shackles of religion on human nature, boldly challenged traditional forces, and showed the poet's great courage.
These works are not only positive and progressive in ideological content, but also have high artistic skills. In terms of metrical structure, "Love Song" adopts the form of a harmonious folk song. Except for a few six or eight sentences, it basically has four sentences in each sentence, six syllables in each sentence, a pause after two syllables, and is divided into three beats. That is, "four sentences, six words and three pauses", the rhythm is loud and catchy.

Tsangyang Gyatso is a famous figure in Tibetan history. Not only is he the sixth Dalai Lama, but what is even more attractive are his legendary experiences and his most emotional poems. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, after the death of the fifth Dalai Lama Lobsang Gyatso, Dipa Sangye Gyatso kept secret the funeral in order to continue to hold power. At the same time, he announced to the outside world that the Dalai Lama had "entered concentration" and continued indefinitely. During the practice, no one was seen, and all affairs were handled by "Diba"; on the other hand, he also kept a hand and sent people to the people to find the reincarnated soul boy, so as to prevent the truth from being exposed in the future and to welcome the sixth Dalai Lama into the palace immediately.
The location for searching for the reincarnated soul boy was at the foot of the Menyu Nala Mountain in southern Tibet. Most of the people here believe in the Red Sect, the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. A Yellow Sect was born in the area of ??the Red Sect. The emergence of the leader will be conducive to the expansion of the power of the Yellow Sect.
