Arjia Rinpoche on the 10th Panchen Lama (Video 3/3)

In this three-part series, Arjia Rinpoche, the throne holder of Kumbum Monastery in Amdo, Tibet, describes the life, death, and controversary surrounding the 10th Panchen Lama, Choekyi Gyaltsen. In video three, Arjia Rinpoche explains the dispute over the reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama. Selected by the central government as a member of the so-called "search committee" for reincarnation, Arjia Rinpoche takes you inside the Golden Urn Ceremony that produced the Chinese Communist Party's choice for the current Panchen Lama as well as inside the jet cabin of communist officials who celebrate their "victory." This video includes many rare images of the Golden Urn Ceremony. [I was fortunate enough to be asked by Arjia Rinpoche to work on the translations and subtitles. All mistakes are my own.]
