8-year-old Mongolian child will be the third religious leader of Tibet: Dalai Lama completed the rituals in Himachal, said- meeting the child in Mongolia is auspicious
The 87-year-old Tibetan religious leader Dalai Lama has given a big blow to China. He has made an 8-year-old Mongolian child born in America the third highest religious leader of Tibetan Buddhism. He is one of the twins. The Dalai Lama called this child the reincarnation of the 10th Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche.
The ceremony of meeting the new religious leader took place on March 8 in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, but its information has now come to the fore. It was attended by 600 Mongolians at the ceremony. The Dalai Lama said – Our ancestors had deep relations with the Krishnacharya dynasty of Chakrasamvar. One of these also established a monastery in Mongolia. In such a situation, it is very auspicious to meet the third religious leader in Mongolia.
Celebration in Mongolia on the news of the child
According to Mongolian media, the new Tibetan cleric is one of the twins of a maths professor from Mongolia. The names of these children are Agudai and Achiltai. And the child’s grandmother has been a Member of Parliament in Mongolia. People started celebrating in Mongolia as soon as the news of the child being a religious leader came out. There was great enthusiasm among the Buddhists during the ceremony. On the other hand, according to some media reports, there were reports earlier also of a Mongolian child being a religious leader, but the Dalai Lama has now confirmed it.
China had said – we will choose a Buddhist leader
This step of the Dalai Lama is considered politically important. China wants to appoint its people in the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, so that there is no possibility of any rebellion in Tibet. China has also announced that the country will recognize only those Buddhist leaders whom the Chinese government will choose. Even before this, in 1995, when the Dalai Lama chose the second highest religious leader, the Panchen Lama, he was jailed by the Chinese authorities. After this, China appointed a religious leader of its own choosing to the post. Now after getting the third Tibetan religious leader, there is concern among Buddhists about his safety.
Dalai Lama came to Himachal from China in 1959
The Dalai Lama is the religious leader of Tibet. He was born in 1935. He was said to be the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama when he was 2 years old. After this he was recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama fled from Tibet in 1959 after China occupied it. Since then he has been living in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. The Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. However, China calls them separatists who are a threat to Tibet.
