Great idea! I will add those tags to the #Romanov story as well.
1. #tags are for data lookup and tracking
2. @tags are for referencing persons in the lookup and tracking
3. $tags show place or locations in the data.
This way it is easy for us to track person, place, and thing properly.
That is a good tagging method to help keep track of different types of information. It can be useful for organizing and categorizing data for easy retrieval and analysis.

- #Baikal – a reference to Lake Baikal, a significant location in the story
- $Siberia – a general reference to the location of the story.

How would you describe the relationship between #NicholasII and #Tseydonev in the !Romanov story?
In the !Romanov story, Nicholas II was the last emperor of Russia and Tseydonev was a Buddhist monk and scholar from Buryatia who met him during the coronation in Moscow in 1896. Although they came from different worlds, there is evidence that they had some respect for each other. For example, Tseydonev sent Nicholas II a poem after the coronation, in which he described the czar as an enlightened monarch and an emanation of the deity White Tara. However, when Tseydonev refused to bow to the czar at their meeting, it caused some consternation among the courtiers and visitors. Despite this, Tseydonev remained a respected figure in the Buddhist community and went on to play an important role in the survival of the Romanov family in the alternate timeline story.

Like a worn and towering sandstone sculpture that a traveler in the remote steppes might come upon, the life story of Lubsan Samdan @Tsydenov is strangely imposing, even monumental. Its sources are difficult to access and not easy to verify. He emerges from a confused and violent past, and he seems more a heroic figure in a folktale—like an emanation of the epic king Gesar, say—than an actual historical person. But it is undisputed that he was destined to be a #monk, that he lived as a #Buddhist teacher, that he became a #king, and that, finally, he disappeared into the brutal chaos of the early 20th century.
To begin, scholars agree that @Tsydenov was born in 1850 in southern $Buryatia near $LakeBaikal. $Buryatia is a South Central Siberian territory bordered by $Russia to the north, $Mongolia to the south, and $LakeBaikal to the west. It is the homeland of several Buryat Mongol #tribes, and has, since the 18th century, been the northernmost territory to adopt #Tibetan #Buddhist practices.
Even as a small boy, @Tsydenov had a reputation for stubbornness. People still tell the story about his determination. One spring morning he joined a group of children competing to see how far they could throw stones into a broad stream. He was not the best, but long after the others had gone home @Tsydenov remained, pitching one stone after another as far as he could. He continued through the rest of the day and well into the evening. By the time his mother came to find him, the stream was dammed and a small lake had begun to form. The lake remains today and, even if the man himself has been forgotten, is still called $SamdanLake.
When he was 10, his parents sent him to $KudunDatsan, the nearby #Gelugpa monastery, where, it is said, his concentration in study and in meditation practice was more singleminded than anyone had ever seen. Once the abbot sent him to bring a mare back from a distant pasture. He was preoccupied with reflecting on the nature of suffering and returned hours later, empty-handed. A farmer had seen @Tsydenov walk right past the animal, but when the abbot asked @Tsydenov what had happened, @Tsydenov replied: “I went to the pasture, as you told me, but there is no horse.” Some thought that this reply was evidence of his strict discipline, while others found in it an echo of shunyata, or emptiness.
Throughout the following years, @Tsydenov’s meditation practice was unwavering, and he remained an omnivorous scholar. Many accounts assert that he studied Western philosophy when he could find texts, and he sought out traveling #Nyingma lamas, followers of the earliest #Buddhist teaching in $Tibet, for teachings. In this period, @Tsydenov also became a disciple of the 13th Jayagsy Gegen @Tulku, abbot of the great #KumbumMonastery in Tibet. @Tsydenov was 35 when, after years of study, he passed the rigorous tests for the title of #geshe, the equivalent of a philosophy doctorate. At that point he became an official part of the #Buddhist hierarchy in $Buryatia.
Jayagsy @Tulku made several visits to #Buryatia and gave @Tsydenov special oral instructions on the practice of #Yamantaka, conqueror of the Lord of Death. The two also discussed at great length the future of #Buddhist institutions. According to notebooks of people who had spoken with him, @Tsydenov believed that the 20th century would bring unparalleled upheavals and that the #monastic way of life would no longer be able to ensure the continuity of the @Buddha’s teachings. He proposed instead to establish a community of lay practitioners who would focus on older forms of #tantric practice. This was the only way, as he later wrote, that the #buddhadharma could survive and even expand to the #West. Despite what many have characterized as @Tsydenov’s aloof manner, his clarity of mind and absolute devotion earned the admiration and trust of the #Buddhist community.
