<human>:  I have a question about the Potala Palace. What is the meaning of the word Potala?
<bot>: Potala is a Tibetan word meaning “sacred abode of the gods”. The palace was built in the 17th century by the fifth Dalai Lama. It is located in Lhasa, Tibet, and is the home of the Panchen Lama, the second highest religious position in Tibet.
