Death
After the re-establishment of Mongolia's independence in 1921, Ja Lama continued to operate independently from his hideout. After the experience with Baron Ungern, the new communist government considered that it could not tolerate another separatist rebellious leader with several hundred loyal and armed followers. In early 1922, the government sent out several parties to find and kill him. One of those succeeded in infiltrating his camp by posing as envoys from the Bogd Khan, shot him and brought his head to Niislel Khüree as proof that he would pose no further danger.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Because you live, O Christ,
the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,

The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!”
—Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)

what could death bring,
more black, more set with sparks
to slay, to affright,
than the memory of those first violets.”

“For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it by watching others fed to it as he survives transfixed with rapture.”
