Nonagenarians are supposed to resolve the main vital issues but the Dalai old This week will reveal its most relevant decision since it escaped from the Tibet In 1959 disguised with a Chinese military uniform. His succession It transcends religion and enters geopolitics, with the world pending what this week says in your Indian exile of Dhramsalá.
On the question of his reincarnation he had placed his faithful until he turned 90 and that will happen on Sunday. The religious conferences of three days that today begin, with the presence of a hundred leaders of the Buddhism TibetanThey are the right moment. The tradition feels that the Dalai Lama dies so that the monks consult oracles and comb the Tibetan highlands in search of a child with the required qualities. This happened with him.
He decimocuto Dalai Lama He was born as Lhamo Dhondup In a peasant family of what is now the Chinese province of Qinghai and two years was anointed as the reincarnation of the thirteenth. The vision revealed by an old monk contributed and that the child responded “is mine” when they showed him belongings of the previous one. Five years later he was transferred to POTALA PALACE.
China misgivings
Now it is convenient to advance the work because China also claims the decision. The Dalai Lama is a “Wolf monk dress” And a separatist who does not represent Tibet or his people, says Beijing, who prohibits his photographs and cult. Will only negotiate with him if he admits that Taiwan and the Tibet They belong to China and has never seemed excited about the idea. For China it is a matter of control. With an obedient successor would neutralize the separatist currents and would give his authority a spiritual varnish. The ritual established during the Qing dynasty claims at the end of the 18th century, in which the chosen one left the names of the candidates deposited in a golden urn.
Dalai Lama has tried to avoid Chinese appropriation by all means. Years ago he said that perhaps he does not reincarne and the figure dies. Recently, in his book ‘The voice of those who lack voice’, he laid that the next will be born “in the free world” or, in other words, outside China. In the memory is the Old panchen, The second Tibetan religious authority. Beijing arrested the child chosen by the Dalai Lama and has published his substitute, better known as the Red Lama the communist.
The Dalai Lama plans to live 110 years and no more ailments are known than an operated knee but to the 140,000 diaspora tibetans They would like their succession to be resolved soon. In his speech today he has advanced that these days there will be “some outline about the continuation of the institution of the Dalai Lamas”. For the spokeswoman of the Tibetan Parliament in exile, Dolma Tsering Teykhangit is relevant that the world listens to Dalai Lama when Beijing “tries to vilify it every time you can.” “We want his reincarnation to be born not only to survive culture, religion and Tibetan nation, but also for the well -being of all humanity,” he added.
Geopolitical matter
The conflict concludes global attention. India He insists on his neutrality but welcomes the bulk of Tibetan exile and fills him with social and labor benefits that other refugees do not enjoy. The Dalai Lama, in addition, is a powerful negotiating argument in its varied lawsuits with China. Also communications and actions suggest that European Union defends that the Tibetan community chooses its successor.
More resounding is USAaccustomed to exploit any Chinese ethnic or territorial problem, either in Tibet, Xinjiang or Taiwan. The support and policy act on Tibet, approved five years ago, contemplates sanctions to the Chinese government and any of its officials who interfere with the succession for understanding it as a violation of religious freedom.
