DALAI LAMA’S SUCCESSOR TO BE BORN OUTSIDE CHINA, SPIRITUAL LEADER SAYS

In his new book, the Dalai Lama has declared that his successor will be born outside China, intensifying the ongoing dispute with Beijing over control of Tibet. This statement adds another layer to the complex political and spiritual conflict over the Himalayan region, which the Dalai Lama fled more than six decades ago. The move challenges China’s influence over Tibetan Buddhism and its leadership succession.
