"The successor to the Dharamshala-based 14th Dalai Lama will be chosen in the traditional way of drawing lots from a sacred urn at the Jokhang monastery in Lhasa followed by the mandatory approval from the ruling Communist Party of China, Beijing has said." “The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama must be conducted according to religious rituals and historical conventions including drawing of lots from the Golden Urn in front of the Shakyamuni (Buddha) statue at the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, which embodies the Buddhist spirit,” the ministry said “(and) not by what the 14th Dalai Lama has said.” Läs hela artikeln här: http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/ht-exclusive-china-to-draw-lots-to-choose-next-dalai-lama/story-4vzJuKi9zXtGNg8C29v8oI.html

"The vast extent of the spiritual power of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (HHDL) was recently on display for all to see, when he visited various monasteries in Arunachal Pradesh. People came in huge numbers not only from local areas, but as far away as Bhutan and the Himalayan sub-region. No doubt that the Chinese would have taken due note, for no matter however much the Chinese authorities may have tried, the messages contained in HHDL’s sermons would have resonated with most of the Tibetan population in Tibet. And this is where the crux of the matter lies. No matter how much the Chinese authorities try political repression or economic development, they have just not been able to shake the abiding faith of the Tibetans in the persona of HHDL. The Tibetans give to him a faith, belief and trust that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world." Läs hela artikeln här: https://thewire.in/124075/dalai-lama-china-india-tibet/
