Not Dalai Lama, who will decide the successor? China’s ambassador to India got angry

The controversy over the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama is deepening. China’s ambassador to India, Shu Feihong, made it clear that the 14th Dalai Lama has no right to decide whether this centuries-old process of reincarnation will continue or not. This statement came when the Dalai Lama publicly announced his succession plan. He also expressed his belief in reincarnation.

China’s ambassador in India got angry

On the social media platform X, the Chinese ambassadorXu Feihong said, “The reincarnation of the Dalai Lamas neither started with the current Dalai Lama nor will it end with him.” He said that this is a 700-year-old tradition. He also claimed that this is a religious tradition. It is not in the hands of any one person.

Thousands of reincarnation traditions still active

According to China, “Living Buddha Reincarnation System” is a unique religious method of Tibetan Buddhism, which is still active in Tibet and its surrounding areas like Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, and Qinghai. More than 1,000 reincarnation traditions are going on there.”

Dalai Lama gave responsibility to the trust

Let us tell you that Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday was celebrated in Dharamshala yesterday. On his birthday, Dalai Lama said that the successor will be identified by a trust. The Chinese government will have no role in this. He also clarified that this process will also include spiritual leaders, exiled Tibetan government and other necessary parties.

Will reincarnation not be recognized?

Reiterating its reaction, China said that no one’s reincarnation will be recognized unless it is approved by the central government of China. Citing the 2007 Beijing law, it was said that the right to the process of reincarnation is under the control of the state. However, Buddhist religious leaders and the Tibetan community are strongly against this.
