Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu says the next Dalai Lama will be born in a democratic country, not China. Highlights Dalai Lama’s health and future succession process.

Next Dalai Lama from free democratic country, not from China: Arunachal CM

Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu says the next Dalai Lama will be born in a democratic country, not China. Highlights Dalai Lama&rsquo;s health and future succession process.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has said the next Dalai Lama will be from a free and democratic country and definitely not from China.
He, however, said the process of selecting the next Dalai Lama starts only after an incumbent passes away and hoped and prayed the 14th Dalai Lama will live for another 40 years.
"In fact, as I said, His Holiness' health is very good. And this time too -- on the occasion of his 90th birthday celebration -- His Holiness said that he will live to be around 130 years old. So we all pray and I am very hopeful that he will live to be 130," Khandu said in an interview with PTI Videos on Tuesday.
The chief minister, who is a follower of the Dalai Lama and a Buddhist, said he doesn't know the process of how the next Dalai Lama will be selected, how it will happen or the details but there is established procedure.
"The entire rules are set, all procedures are set. There's no point in speculating about it now. There is no point now in speculating where he will be born, in which region, whether it will be in India or Tibet. On this issue, there is only one clarity, which His Holiness has perhaps said in an interview, that the next Dalai Lama will be born in a free world," he said.
Asked whether he was indicating that the next Dalai Lama would not be from China and could be from somewhere else, Khandu said, "Yes, definitely not from China because there is no democracy there." "So wherever there is democracy... it can be anywhere in the world where there is democracy," he said.
When pointed out that Tibet is also under Chinese rule, the chief minister responded, "That is why, I am not saying specifically it would be from this country or that country." "It would be a bit immature for us to say this right now. But this much is certain... where there is democracy, where people have their freedom, can express their views. I think there is clarity on that," he said.
The chief minister said the Gaden Phodrang Trust will carry out the search for the next Dalai Lama.
"The search for the 15th Dalai Lama... the entire process will begin only after the present Dalai Lama passes away. So there is no hurry in this," he said.
On China&rsquo;s objection to the Dalai Lama&rsquo;s succession issue, Khandu said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know why China is objecting to it. They must have their own policy. There is no Dalai Lama institution in China. The Dalai Lama institution is recognised mainly in the Himalayan belt and by the Tibetan Buddhists. China has no role in it.&rdquo; The chief minister said the Dalai Lama institution has been continuing for over 600 years, from the first Dalai Lama to the current 14th.
He said there was speculation about whether the Dalai Lama institution would continue and if the next Dalai Lama could be a woman.
"Before the 90th birthday of the 14th Dalai Lama, all heads of Buddhist traditions met and confirmed the institution will continue,&rdquo; he said.

China warns India over remarks about Dalai Lama's reincarnation, urging respect for Tibetan matters amid bilateral ties.

China Warns India Over Dalai Lama

China responds to India's remarks on Dalai Lama's reincarnation, urging non-interference. Diplomatic efforts continue amid tensions.

China urges caution from India over Dalai Lama remarks as diplomatic talks continue to ease tensions.

China on Friday objected to Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju&rsquo;s remarks that the incarnation of the Dalai Lama should follow his own wishes, urging India to act cautiously on Tibet-related issues to avoid its impact on the improvement of bilateral relations.
India should be clear of the anti-China separatist nature of the 14th Dalai Lama and honour its commitments on Xizang (Tibet) related issues, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a media briefing here responding to a question on Rijiju&rsquo;s comments. China refers to Tibet as Xizang.
India should exercise caution in its words and actions, stop interfering in China&rsquo;s internal affairs with Xizang related issues and avoid impact on the improvement and development of the China-India relationship, Mao said.
Rijiju on Thursday asserted that the decision on the incarnation of the Dalai Lama would be taken by the established institution and the leader of Tibetan Buddhists himself and no one else.
It was the first reaction from a senior Indian government functionary on the comments of the Dalai Lama on his successor.
On Wednesday, the Tibetan spiritual leader said that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue, and only the Gaden Phodrang Trust - founded by his office in 2015 - will have the authority to recognise his future reincarnation.
Rijiju's remarks came after China rejected the Nobel Peace laureate's succession plan, insisting that any future heir must receive its seal of approval.
Rijiju, a practising Buddhist, and Rajiv Ranjan Singh, a fellow Union minister, are representing the Government of India at the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday celebrations in Dharamshala on July 6.
The minister said that the birthday event is a religious function and has nothing to do with politics.
Mao reiterated China&rsquo;s stand that the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, the second-high priest of Tibetan Buddhism, has to comply with rigorous religious rituals and historical conventions in line with domestic search, lots drawn from a 'golden urn' and the central government's approval.
The present 14th Dalai Lama went through this procedure and was approved by the then-central government, she said.
The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama must uphold those principles and follow religious rituals, historical conventions, Chinese law and regulations, she said.
Mao&rsquo;s comments related to the improvement and development of relations refer to the efforts by both India and China to normalisation of ties after over four years of freeze following the Eastern Ladakh standoff.
The two countries resumed ties after a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit at Kazan in Russia last year followed by a series of high-level meetings.
The resumption of the Kailash and Mansarovar Yatra for Indian pilgrims, which began recently, is stated to be the first step initiated by the two countries to normalise ties.

Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju affirms that only the Dalai Lama and established Tibetan Buddhist traditions can decide on his reincarnation, rejecting China's interference.

India backs Dalai Lama's sole authority on reincarnation, rejects China's interference

Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju affirms that only the Dalai Lama and established Tibetan Buddhist traditions can decide on his reincarnation, rejecting China's interference.

In an apparent snub to China, Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday asserted that the decision on the Incarnation of the Dalai Lama would be taken by the established institution and the Dalai Lama himself and no one else.
On Wednesday, Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama said that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue and only the Gaden Phodrang Trust will have the authority to recognise his future reincarnation.
Talking to reporters here, Rijiju said the Dalai Lama is the "most important and defining institution" for the Buddhists.
"And all those who follow the Dalai Lama feel that the Incarnation is to be decided by the established convention and as per the wish of the Dalai Lama himself. Nobody else has the right to decide it except him and the conventions in place," Rijiju said.
The minister's remarks came after China rejected the Nobel Peace laureate's succession plan, insisting that any future heir must receive its seal of approval.
Rijiju, a practising Buddhist, and Rajiv Ranjan Singh, a fellow Union minister, are representing the Government of India on the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday event in Dharamshala on July 6.
The 14th Dalai Lama is the most important institution for Tibetans and all those who follow the Nalanda tradition of Buddhism.

China rejects the Dalai Lama's succession plan, asserting authority over future Tibetan spiritual leaders, intensifying Tibet tensions.

China rejects Dalai Lama reincarnation decision

China denies the Dalai Lama's proposed succession method, insisting on control over Tibetan spiritual leader selection under state laws.

China rejects Dalai Lama's succession plan, asserting authority over future spiritual leader recognition, escalating Tibet tensions.

China on Wednesday rejected the Dalai Lama's succession plan, insisting that any future heir must receive its seal of approval, adding a new chapter to Tibetan Buddhism's decades-long struggle with the Chinese ruling Communist Party.
The Tibetan spiritual leader on Wednesday said the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue and only the Gaden Phodrang Trust - founded by his office in 2015 - will have the authority to recognise the future reincarnation, ending speculation whether he will have a successor or not after his death.
His announcement ahead of his 90th birthday on Sunday is set to intensify tensions with Beijing.
"The Dalai Lama's reincarnation must follow the principles of domestic recognition, the &lsquo;Golden Urn&rsquo; process, and approval by the central government, in line with religious traditions and laws,&rdquo; Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a media briefing while responding to the Dalai Lama's announcement.
The Dalai Lama caught the attention of the world following his high-profile defection to India in 1959 with a large group of Tibetans after the Chinese military under the command of Communist Party founder Mao Zedong took over Tibet.
Since then, he made Dharamsala his "adopted" home, which drew the ire of Beijing and his presence there continued to be a bone of contention between China and India, and the struggle for Tibetan autonomy may have to be continued by his successor.
His successor issue is also expected to flare up fresh tensions between Beijing and Washington as China's policy comes in conflict with the US Tibetan Policy and Support Act of 2020, which reaffirmed America's steadfast support for the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism.
The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama, the second-high priest of Tibetan Buddhism, has to go through the centuries-old tradition of the Golden Urn law procedure started by the 18th century Qing dynasty, Mao said.
The current 14th Dalai Lama himself was recognised after his predecessor's death following traditional rituals, but his recognition was granted directly by the then-central government, exempting him from the Golden Urn process, Mao said.
She also spoke about how the traditional ceremony was incorporated in 2007 into China&rsquo;s official regulations, along with a clause explicitly banning interference by overseas individuals and parties.
Significantly, the question and Mao's reply related to the Dalai Lama&rsquo;s succession plan was conspicuously missing from the official transcript of the media briefing posted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry website on Wednesday.
Mao also defended the &ldquo;sinicisation&rdquo; of Tibetan Buddhism and other religions under the guidelines issued by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
&ldquo;I believe that sinicisation of religion is not about restricting religious practice; rather, all religions must adapt to the social, cultural and historical context of the country. Tibetan Buddhism in China is a prime example of a religion that has integrated Chinese characteristics, exemplifying the process of sinicisation,&rdquo; Mao said.
In New Delhi, China's Ambassador to India Xu Feihong said the practice of Living Buddha reincarnation has continued for over 700 years and has formed rigorous religious rituals and historical conventions.
"The 14th Dalai Lama himself was searched for in strict accordance with religious rituals and historical conventions after the passing of the 13th Dalai Lama, and enthroned after being granted exemption from the lottery with the then central government's approval," he posted on X.
He said the government of China implements a policy of freedom of religious belief.
"It protects the tradition of reincarnation of Living Buddhas in accordance with the law. The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama must follow the process that consists of search and identification in China, lot-drawing from the Golden Urn, and central government approval, and comply with religious rituals and historical conventions as well as Chinese laws and regulations," he added.
The Dalai Lama is revered by the vast majority of over six million Tibetans as a living manifestation of Chenrezig, the Buddhist god of compassion. He is regarded as the most consequential spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism as unlike his predecessors he had to confront the atheist regime headed by the Communist Party of China.
A commentary on the Dalai Lama&rsquo;s succession carried by state-run Xinhua news agency Tuesday ruled out official recognition without proper rituals.
Any so-called "reincarnation" that bypasses traditional religious rituals, whether conducted within or outside the Chinese territory, lacks religious legitimacy and will by no means be recognised by Tibetan Buddhist followers, it said.
Notably ahead of the much-expected announcement by the Dalai Lama, China-appointed Panchen Lama, the second most important Buddhist monk in Tibet after the Dalai Lama, met President Xi here on June 6 and swore his loyalty to the ruling Communist Party.
Meeting the Panchen Lama, Xi asked him to make greater contributions to promoting ethnic unity and religious harmony, as well as the stability, development and progress in the Tibet Autonomous Region.
Xi also asked him to make continued efforts to promote the "sinicisation of religion".
Since he came to power in 2012, Xi has been calling for the &ldquo;sinicisation&rdquo; of all religions in the country, including Buddhism and Islam, to re-orient them to function under the guidance of the CPC, which ideologically remained atheist.
The 35-year-old Panchen Lama was appointed by China at the age of five in 1995, ousting the Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, who was chosen as the 11th Panchen Lama by the Dalai Lama.
Beijing has in the past accused the Dalai Lama of indulging in "separatist" activities and trying to split Tibet and considers him as a divisive figure.
However, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism has insisted that he is not seeking independence but "genuine autonomy for all Tibetans living in the three traditional provinces of Tibet" under the "Middle-Way approach".
The Chinese government held nine rounds of talks with the Dalai Lama&rsquo;s representatives from 2002 to 2010, without any concrete outcome. No talks were held on record after Xi took over power in 2012.
In the talks, the Tibetan side pitched for genuine autonomy for the Tibetan people in line with the Dalai Lama's middle-way policy.
However, China consistently rejected his autonomy plan, stating that it covered vast stretches of the Himalayan region beyond the current Tibet Autonomous Region.

After the Dalai Lama confirmed his succession, China reiterated that only the central government can approve his reincarnation, citing an old tradition.

China says Dalai Lama successor must be approved by Beijing

After the Dalai Lama confirmed his succession, China reiterated that only the central government can approve his reincarnation, citing an old tradition.

China said on Wednesday that the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama "must be approved by the central government", after Tibet's exiled spiritual leader said he would have a successor after his death.
The current Dalai Lama, who turns 90 this week, has lived in exile in India since Chinese troops crushed an uprising in the Tibetan capital Lhasa in 1959.
He confirmed on Wednesday that the 600-year-old institution would continue, soothing the concerns of many Tibetans who feared a future without a spiritual and political focal point.
China, which views the current Dalai Lama as a separatist, countered that Beijing has the final say on who the successor will be.
"The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama and other great Buddhist figures must be chosen by drawing lots from a golden urn, and approved by the central government," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a regular news briefing, referring to a method introduced by a Qing dynasty emperor in the 18th century.
"The Chinese government implements a policy of freedom of religious belief, but there are regulations on religious affairs and methods for managing the reincarnation of Tibetan living Buddhas," Mao said.
Tenzin Gyatso -- the 14th Dalai Lama -- was 23 when he fled Lhasa in fear for his life.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner has since become the global face of the Tibetan push to assert their cultural identity, as well as a powerful symbol of peace and non-violence.
Mao said on Wednesday that Beijing's policy of making religion more Chinese "is not its restriction. The survival and development of any religion lies in adapting to the country's social environment and cultural traditions".
"Tibetan Buddhism was born in China and carries Chinese characteristics," she said.

Ahead of his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama confirmed the continuation of his spiritual institution and clarified that only the Gaden Phodrang Trust has authority to recognise his successor.

Dalai Lama says his institution will continue; Gaden Phodrang Trust to recognise the successor

Ahead of his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama confirmed the continuation of his spiritual institution and clarified that only the Gaden Phodrang Trust has authority to recognise his successor.

Four days ahead of his 90th birthday, Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama on Wednesday stated that the institution of Dalai Lama will continue, putting to rest uncertainty over whether he will have a successor after his death.
In a statement made on May 21, 2025 in Tibetan language and released by his office in Dharamshala on Wednesday, he said that the Gaden Phodrang Trust has the sole authority to recognise the future Dalai Lama.
The 90th birthday celebrations of the 14th Dalai Lama -- Tenzin Gyatso, who is also called Lhama Thondup -- commenced at Tsuglagkhang, the main temple in Mcleodganj near Dharamshala on June 30.
"I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue and I hereby reiterate that the Gaden Phodrang Trust has sole authority to recognise the future reincarnation. No one else has any such authority to interfere in this matter," the statement said.
During a meeting of the heads of Tibetan spiritual traditions on September 24, 2011, the Dalai Lama had stated that "as far back as in 1969, I made clear that people concerned should decide whether the Dalai Lama's reincarnations should continue in future." He had stated that when he will be 90 years old, he will consult the high Lamas of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions, the Tibetan public, and other people who follow Tibetan Buddhism to evaluate whether or not the institution of the Dalai Lama should continue.
Dalai Lama's statement issued here on Wednesday said, "I have received messages through various channels from Tibetans and Tibetan buddhists living in other parts of the world requesting that the institution of Dalai Lama should continue. I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue."&nbsp;
He said the responsibility to recognise the future reincarnation rests with the members of Gaden Phodrang Trust, Office the Dalai Lama who should consult various heads of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions, and the reliable oath-bound Dharma Protectors who are linked inseparably to the lineage of the Dalai Lamas.
"They should carry out the procedures of search and recognition in accordance with the tradition," the statement added.

‘Black Adam’ banned in China over cast member Pierce Brosnan's Dalai Lama meeting? Here’s what we know

In China, Tibet and its autonomy is a hot topic and public figures associating with Dalai Lama have been known to be shunned.

For the unversed, in China, Tibet and its autonomy is a hot topic and public figures associating with Dalai Lama have been known to be shunned.

&lsquo;Black Adam&rsquo;, DC&rsquo;s latest superhero film, has reportedly been banned in China, which is the single-largest overseas market for Hollywood movies. Many fan forums state that the reason for the ban is actor Pierce Brosnan&rsquo;s past comments on Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama.
It all started on the forums of BoxOfficeTheory.com, where an industry insider by the username Isaac Newton claimed that &lsquo;Black Adam&rsquo; will not release in Chinese theaters. Someone then reasoned in the thread that the film has not been given permission to release due to Pierce&rsquo;s meeting with the Dalai Lama.
In an interview with GQ last month, Pierce Brosnan told an anecdote about a meeting with the spiritual leader Dalai Lama and praised him.
In the past, several other films have been prevented from being released in China for similar reasons.
No official announcement has been made regarding the same.
For the unversed, in China, Tibet and its autonomy is a hot topic and public figures associating with Dalia Lama have been known to be shunned.
&lsquo;Black Adam&rsquo; stars Dwayne Johnson as the titular antihero. It features Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate and has a cameo of Henry Cavill, as Superman. The film was released in multiple countries in October, but it has not been released in China yet. The film was expected to release in the country later this year.

The Dalai Lama has said that he would prefer dying in India surrounded by people who show love rather than 'artificial' Chinese officials. 
"I told former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, I will live another 15-20 years, there is no question. At the time when I die, I prefer dying in India. India is surrounded by people who show love, not artificial something. If I die surrounded by Chinese officials...too much artificial. I prefer dying in this country with free democracy," he said
The Buddhist spiritual leader made the comments at an interaction organised by United States Institute of Peace. 
The Dalai Lama also received the Alice and Clifford Spendlove Prize in Social Justice, Diplomacy and Tolerance, his office said on Thursday.
He is the 15th recipient of the award, founded by Merced native Sherrie Spendlove in 2005 at University of California, Merced.

27 years after he was kidnapped by Chinese officials, the Panchen Lama remains missing. After Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama is the second most revered figure in the Tibetan Buddhist society. And he's missing since he was 6 years old. The issue has led to a fresh war of words between USA and China.
On April 25, the 33rd birthday of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, the 11th Panchen Lama, America asked China to reveal his whereabouts and confirm him well-being. Washington asked Beijing to let the Panchen Lama exercises his human rights and fundamental freedoms. The Panchen Lama was abducted by Chinese Communist officials on May 17, 1995.
America's statement led to a sharp reaction from China, which has been trying to stamp out Tibetan nationalism to complete its invasion and occupation of the region. Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of the Chinese foreign ministry said, "We firmly oppose the U.S. side's interference in China's internal affairs under the guise of so-called religious freedom with Tibet-related issues. The Chinese government pursues a policy of freedom of religious belief, which of course includes respecting and protecting the reincarnation of living Buddhas as an institution of inheritance in Tibetan Buddhism."
Wenbin added, "This so-called reincarnated child of Panchen Lama is just an ordinary Chinese citizen who is currently leading a normal life. He and his family do not want their current normal life to be disturbed. The U.S. should fully understand and respect their wills, instead of engaging in political manipulation on the matter to attack and smear China."
