I thought the Dalai Lama said the he would not reincarnate.
Obviously because he know chinese influence would institute someone who supports Chinese control as the next Dalai lama.

Yeah, then Beijing anointed some random to be the next one iirc, and he's not recognized officially. I'm guessing that's this dude.
China baaically kidnapped the Pachen Lama. No one has seen him for years. He is either replaced or brainwashed....either way, the Pachen names tha Dalai. So basically China is pucking a Dalai lama that will support China over Tibet.
Tibetan Buddhism with Chinese characteristics
The catholic church also made a deal so they could continue operating there, they have to acknowledge that the CCP is more important than god.
You can only reincarnate with a social credit score of 1000 or more.
aww, my credit score will never get that high.
There's already a law on the books in China giving the state authority over reincarnation. Which sounds insane, but it's specifically within the context of the top monks in the Tibetan branch of Buddhism building their line of succession through "reincarnation". That's why when the Panchen Lama's reincarnation was identified, the Chinese government whisked him and his family away and selected their own.
Ah right, the chinese budhism.
LOL, Physics Law must follow CCP lead next?
Oh they are actually fully open to science. Let them govern magic sky daddies, if it pleases them.
Once again, I'm humbled just when I think the universe can't create a brand new sentence.
This has been expected since the abduction of the real Panchen Lama
You know it's a fake Panchen Lama because they're saying the next Dalai Lama must adhere to what an atheist government that was responsible for annexing and taking over their land has to say.
Spoiler alert: they're all fake
This one is extra fake though, like if Trump/Vance decided to name their own pope. Honestly wouldn't be surprised, now that the idea occurred to me.
This apparently isn't even the "real" Panchen Lama, but is the one chosen by China to replace the one that was kidnapped and was chosen by the Dalai Lama.

Why would the rules of reincarnations be subject to any laws of man? How is it that Beijing could possibly exert control over metaphysical powers? To suggest so, proves the speaker does not believe in reincarnation and should be ignored on the subject, no?
No authority greater than Xi Xing Ping is absolute authoritarianism.
The catch that always seems to bring this heavenly process down into the dirt is “identifying” the reincarnated lama. China’s rhetoric, if you look closely, is all about ensuring outside countries don’t interfere in that process. They are trying to assert that only they have the ability to recognize when the reincarnation has taken place, and who it is. Not that they can control who it is.
I know, it’s bullshit. But “people get hung up on bullshit” is a shortened history of human civilization.
The Panchen Lama is a puppet of the CCP.
This is incredibly stupid.
So a reincarnation based religious system that spans countless realities, creatures, and millennia is somehow beholden to this reality's 76 year old country led by a dictator? Makes sense.
Only China’s CCP can protect the sanctity of this process from politically motivated interference by devils in Chinese Taiwan and the United States.
You know, or so they’d have you believe.
That's where you take issue?
