<<Did you know that the dalai lama title was a creation of the Beijing rulers as a political-religious mechanism?>>

Pardon me for jumping into the discussion, but I thought the "title" of Dalai Lama was originally bestowed by Mongolian ruler Altan Khan, who was a serious threat to Ming Dynasty rulers.

I am interested to hear your understanding of how the title came about.
