the dark after the Dalai Lama
The announcement of the Dalai Lama on his possible withdrawal "retired" within six months is accompanied by two other noisy activities: the leader Buddhist has left open the possibility of being the last Dalai Lama, the last charge that is to combine the religious and the head of the Tibetan government in exile. He also suggested, however, that after him that role could be up to a woman. This leaves open the possibility that the games will make for a successor while he is still alive. A scenario that is viewed with hostility from China.
The output now is the anchor of a strategy that the Tibetan leader began to unravel three years ago, in November 2007. Even then, indicates that the next Dalai Lama could be appointed and the current spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists is still alive, breaking the old tradition, which establishes the choice of his successor after his death. He said during a visit to Japan, almost illegal because the representatives of the Tokyo government refused to accept it and even give him an escort, not to provoke the anger of the Chinese government.
Ripping announced over the ancient religious customs is a sign of extreme tension on the succession. The leaders of the Republic People are convinced that the time games in their favor, they planned the final solution to the problem of Tibet: Dalai Lama will impose the death of a leader of their choice to shut permanently every aspiration of religious autonomy.
Since 1959, when the Dalai Lama fled his homeland occupied by the Chinese army and found asylum in the Indian city of Dharmsala, the charismatic exile has always been a thorn in the side of the communist nomenklatura and an obstacle to the "normalization".
Now the Chinese regime is betting everything on his death. The last law passed in Beijing by the State Religious Affairs, known as Order No. 5, entitled "Administrative Measures for the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas in Tibet." The Chinese government will retain the last word in this field, so that the next Buddhist leader is a docile puppet in his hands.
"The people of Tibet - the Dalai Lama said in an interview with Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun - would not recognize a successor selected by China after my death. If Tibetans want to keep the Dalai Lama system, one possibility is to appoint the next while I'm still alive. Among the options being discussed is a selection made from the most respected Democratic monks of Tibetan Buddhism, or an appointment made by me. "
deforestation and degradation of the delicate ecosystem in the Himalayan region.
Beijing has already provided a glimpse of the methods that can be used to lock down the sequence. In 1995 the Dalai Lama chose a 6 year old boy, Gendun Choekyi Nyima, to become the eleventh Panchen Lama, the second most revered spiritual figure from the Tibetan Buddhists. The child and his family were made to disappear and never been heard about them. The Government of the People's Republic maintains them in a secret place to "protect". Meanwhile, the communist authorities have designated another Panchen Lama, Gyaltsen Norbu, from which a claim to absolute loyalty to China.
