The Dalai Lama warned that China may choose its own Tibetan Buddhist successor after his death.
China has dictated that the reincarnation of the current Dalai Lama must adhere to rules set forth by Beijing.
"The institution of reincarnation of the Dalai Lama has been in existence for several hundred years," Geng added."The 14th Dalai Lama himself was found and recognized following religious rituals and historical conventions and his enthronement was approved by the then-central government. Therefore, reincarnation of living Buddhas, including the Dalai Lama, must comply with Chinese laws and regulations and follow religious rituals and historical conventions.
The Dalai Lama gave up his political role to the exiled, India-based Central Tibetan Administration in 2011, but he has remained a prominent advocate for Tibet's independence and an influential critic of the human rights situation in the region. His successor, believed by followers to be his direct reincarnation, would be the first chosen since the ruling Chinese Communist Party came to power.
