Namgyal, which in Tibetan means literally “The Victorious,” is the name of the monastery situated in Potala Palace, the winter residence of the Dalai Lama until 1959. Because of the monastery’s location and importance, its name is frequently used as a synonym for the Gelug school of Vajrayana Buddhism.
