Dalai Lama announced the place of his future reincarnation (5 photos)

The Dalai Lama can see through time and space! How else would he know exactly where the next reincarnation will be? Because he said his successor would be born in the "free world" outside of China.





Looks very cheerful despite his age

Reincarnation is prohibited

I already wrote that in China there is a funny law that prohibits reincarnation without permission. And the Chinese obey – they do not reincarnate.

But it is clear what the law was actually introduced against – against unrest within China when it comes time to look for a new leader of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tibetans around the world want the Dalai Lama institution to continue to exist after the death of the 89-year-old man. And to do this, they will need to find his reincarnation. And the current Lama gave his followers a hint where to look next.



Adults will not become the next lamas, it is a shame

He said that he could reincarnate outside of Tibet, perhaps in India, where he lives in exile. But most importantly, "it will be a place in the free world," he said.

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, fled to India in 1959 at the age of 23 along with thousands of other Tibetans after a failed uprising against the communist rule of Mao Zedong.





I like the simple and bright clothes of the lama, no unnecessary gold on the body

Tibetan tradition says that the soul of a senior Buddhist monk is reincarnated into the body of a child after his death. The current Dalai Lama was recognized as the reincarnation of his predecessor when he was two years old!

Anywhere, so you don't guess!

The authorities in Beijing insist that China itself will choose his successor (because there is an amendment to the law that it is forbidden to reincarnate without permission, but with permission - it is possible). But the Dalai Lama said that any successor named by China will not be respected by Buddhists. Of course, China brands him for this as a "separatist". By the way, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.



Buddhists love the Dalai Lama and want to touch him for luck

The Chinese government continues to politely say that it hopes the Dalai Lama will "return to the right path" and that it is open to discussions about the future. It must recognize that Tibet and Taiwan are inseparable parts of the People's Republic of China.

The Dalai Lama has said that he will release details of his succession around his 90th birthday in July. However, he is realistically aware that he is old and will not have the chance to return to his Tibet from exile in his lifetime.



The Dalai Lama and George Bush, well, not Comrade Xi!

Place your bets, where will the Dalai Lama reincarnate? And how many false lamas will be announced in each region after his death?
