China said- Dalai Lama cannot break 700 year old tradition
China had said that the process of choosing the next avatar of the Dalai Lama should be under the old religious rules and the laws of China, such as the tradition of extracting lottery from ‘Golden Kalash’ and the approval of the central government. China warned that these rules should be followed in future also, as it considers it a question of its sovereignty.
Posting on X, Chinese Ambassador to India, Shoo Faihong, wrote, “The 14th Dalai Lama has said that the tradition of the Dalai Lama will continue even further. However, the tradition of rebirth of Tibetan Buddhism living Buddha has been going on for 700 years. Faihong said-
The 14th Dalai Lama is part of this historical and religious tradition. The rebirth of the Dalai Lamas neither started from them, nor will they end due to them. The tradition is not to continue or the decision to eliminate is not only in the hands of the 14th Dalai Lama. They cannot decide alone whether the tradition of rebirth will run or not.
India said-does not talk about religious matter
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (Mea) on Friday said on the succession of the Dalai Lama- The Government of India neither takes nor speaks on matters related to faith and religious practices. Will continue to do this even further. We have seen reports related to the statement of the Dalai Lama.
