![]() ![]() ![]() How an atheist ‘expert’ suddenly becomes knowledgeable about the return of a boy’s soul on earth. Interestingly, the main ‘expert in reincarnation’ quoted by The Global Times is a hard-core Communist, Zhu Weiqun, former head of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) who, a few years ago, derailed the negotiations between Beijing and Dharamsala: “For years, the Dalai Lama himself has been making lies to fool people who are not clear about history and the facts,”, Zhu told the tabloid. On 5 January, quoting so-called experts on Tibet issues, the same Global Times already announced: “The Chinese Central Government will support and guide the work of finding the successor of the 14th Dalai Lama and the successor, like his predecessors, will be finally approved by the Central government.” It added that this was “refuted reports from India media quoting Penpa Tsering, the current head of the ‘Tibetan government-in-exile’, who claimed that China will interfere with the Dalai Lama’s succession.” This declaration shows that Beijing prepares itself to interfere in the succession. The article then cites the ‘Measures on the Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas of Tibetan Buddhism’ announced in 2007 by Beijing: “It stipulated that the reincarnation of Living Buddhas should not be interfered with or manipulated by any external forces.”Īccording to Beijing, the Dalai Lama has no say in his own succession. Does Beijing believe that the world has forgotten? Specified options include issuing sanctions and barring those officials from entering the US.The publication – The Global Times – dishonestly omits that the boy recognised as the Panchen Lama by the Dalai Lama was arrested and more than 25 years later, he is still in custody of the Chinese government somewhere in China. “It is the policy of the United States to take all appropriate measures to hold accountable senior officials of the Government of the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party who directly interfere with the identification and installation of the future 15th Dalai Lama of Tibetan Buddhism, successor to the 14th Dalai Lama,” it states. The passage goes on to lay out provisions for “holding Chinese officials responsible for religious freedom abuses targeting Tibetan Buddhists. The language in the coronavirus relief bill warns that “interference by the Government of the People’s Republic of China or any other government in the process of recognizing a successor or reincarnation of the 14th Dalai Lama and any future Dalai Lamas would represent a clear abuse of the right to religious freedom of Tibetan Buddhists and the Tibetan people.” The Chinese Communist Party tightly regulates the practice of religion, forbidding unapproved faiths, and exerting influence over those that it does permit.Ĭhina in 2011 warned the 14th Dalai Lama that he is not to have any role in naming a successor, and has claimed the authority to approve the 15th Dalai Lama. ![]() The current and 14th Dalai Lama, 85-year-old Tenzin Gyatso, has lived in exile in India since the 1950s. ![]() The Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism holds that its highest spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, is repeatedly reincarnated, with a new Dalai Lama recognized following the death of the one prior. It goes on to state that “the wishes of the 14th Dalai Lama, including any written instructions, should play a key role in the selection, education, and veneration of a future 15th Dalai Lama.” “It is the policy of the United States that decisions regarding the selection, education, and veneration of Tibetan Buddhist religious leaders are exclusively spiritual matters that should be made by the appropriate religious authorities within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and in the context of the will of practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism,” the passage reads in part. The communist Chinese government should have no role in choosing the next Dalai Lama, US lawmakers are expected to affirm Monday - in, of all places, the 5,593-page coronavirus relief bill.īuried among the pandemic recovery provisions of the massive, approximately $900 billion legislation - expected to pass late Monday - is an affirmation of Congress’ proposed stance on the hot-button religious and political issue.
