It is a Mongolian expression meaning “Broad Ocean.” Normally the Dalai Lama is referred to as the “Gyalpo Rimpoche,” which means “Precious King.” His parents and brothers use another title in speaking of him.

In some parts of the film, Harrer also explains the young Dalai Lama what an elevator is, and hel (...) Aufschnaiter and Harrer, helped by the former's knowledge of the Tibetan language, proceeded to Tibet's capital city, Lhasa, which they reached on 15 January 1946 (eight months after Nazi Germany's surrender), having crossed Western Tibet, the South-West with Gyirong County, and the Northern Changthang. Harrer’s first wife was Charlotte Wegener, with whom he shared a son named Peter Harrer. In the film, his wife’s name is Ingrid, and their son is called Rolf. It is true that Harrer was interned in India when his then-wife was pregnant with their son. Moreover, their marriage was dissolved in 1943 while he was still away. However, there are fictitious elements to the onscreen Harrer’s personal life. For example, in reality, Harrer’s son was raised by Charlotte’s mother. In contrast, the film shows Harrer entrusting his friend Horst Immerhof to look after his then-wife, who is pregnant with his baby.
