Gravitas: Has the Dalai Lama chosen his successor?

[@SouvikPaul-bz5sl]

Love 🇮🇳🕉️to Tibetian brothers and sisters

[@user55241]

He is 10th Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche, him as the rebirth of Buddhism’s spiritual leader in Mongolia.

[@taidelek9994]

This mongolian boy is the reincarnation of Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa rinpoche of Mongolia . Dalai lama is not only a head spiritual guru of Tibet but also of Mongolia and pre communist China. This has nothing to do with dalai lama reincarnation.

[@NuLiForm]

a few decades ago the Dali Lama said he was The Last Incarnated Lama...he is doing it this way for a Very Good Reason. If he chooses this boy it is because this boy Has what it takes to be a Lama and is willing to do it. Dali Lama believes that China will hijack everything if he leaves it up to the old ways..and he is Right. The Dali Lama is a Very wise man & his argument is Sound..so..it comes down to this...do you trust him or not? i do.

[@JavierFernandez01]

trust him to stop kissing kids and asking them to suck his tongue?

[@JavierFernandez01]

he already said he would be the last lama.

[@i_love_tibet7001]

In the history of Tibet, in different times many Mogolian kings were converted to Tibetan Buddhism. Altan khan, gave the title Dalai Lama for the 3rd in line. Dalai Lama means .....Ocean Of Wisdoms..... and 4th Dalai Lama was from Mongol( only non Tibetan)...... So, Dalai Lama is also their spiritual leader same as Tibetan.

[@torablack]

I thought that the next Dalai Lama wasn't chosen until after the death of the current one.

[@manofsan]

It's either this or CCP will choose

[@403902]

Correct but they are chosen by the Panchen Lama (and there either isn't one / the current one is a CCP puppet) so the Dalai Lama has to choose his own successor (even though his successor is supposed to be his reincarnation, as noted in the report).

[@carus6280]

So for the Dalai Lama's this has always been the case. However the highest masters may emanate a new body before the death of the old one. The current body is just an emanation of Chenrezig, so Chenrezig may emanate again before the previous dies. It's rare but has happened to other reincarnation lines before.

Wion needs to do more research and fact check before publishing such news. Where are your sources? This is baseless and very carelessly done. Just because it is a news doesn’t mean there is truth to it. Remember with freedom comes responsibility. So please be more careful when publishing such news. Your news source is not reliable at all.

[@thepianoplayer416]

Technically the DL is not chosen by the top leaders or the people. It's the previous Lama choosing to be reborn in another body. The Lama in a new body is waiting to be found. When the current DL dies, finding the little boy matching the character of the DL would be interesting. So far the majority of the Lamas had chosen to be reborn in Tibet within the Tibetan population. There is a good chance he'd choose to come back in N. India or in a Western country. The Chinese govt would going to claim they found the little boy within their borders to keep the local Tibetans under their control.

[@julioduan7130]

You didn’t know the process of choosing the next Dalai Lama.

[@thepianoplayer416]

​ @Julio Duan The new DL is supposed to be the reincarnation of this DL. At a young age he can recognize the personal possessions of the previous DL. He also knows his former friends & associates. And at a young age he can recite Buddhist scriptures in Tibetan. Anyway you look at it, the Chinese govt is going to claim they found the little boy who is supposedly the DL reborn. And Tibetans religious leaders outside Tibet would claim they found the little boy who is the legit successor.

[@namgyel6447]

Dalai Lama in many occasions said he will definitely rebirth in country which has( in Tibetan Rangwang) means freedom, however translate it means country which has democracy, so he will not rebirth in Tibet as it has no freedom currently under Chinese illegally occupation.

He himself said there may not be a next Dalai Lama, that’s up to the Tibetan people if they want to continue the tradition. If so, Nechung oracles will locate him.

[@RifetOkic]

@@Cavernicola_ Why no doubt ? The doubt is precisely that someone could falsely claim to be him in these times. There might be manny that claim to be him, just look at Nagarjuna. His birth was predicted 400 years before by Buddha, so many mothers named their child Nagarjuna and hoped it was him. There is not much Dalai Lama could add anyway. He gives his lectures daily and he’s not saying anything new anymore. But i Love to hear them nonetheless, especially his humor and wisdom on sunyata

Doubt it. May be panchen Lama title but can't be Dalai bec. Athman will only reincarnate after body is cremated depending on what the Dalai Lama decides to do. Many who have had death experiences & returned talk of meeting many elders in their family etc so highly improbable unless this is a different Buddha . U have various Buddha's because this Dalai Lama did say he is not going to reincarnate now. This rule of enlightened souls applies across all Sanathan dharma beliefs. Ie high regions exist in which yogi's, Swami's etc on character & deeds go to these regions & chose wen to come down again.

[@carus6280]

So for the Dalai Lama's this has always been the case. However the highest masters may emanate a new body before the death of the old one. The current body is just an emanation/avatar of Chenrezig, so Chenrezig may emanate again before the previous dies. It's rare but has happened to other reincarnation lines before.

[@norman5340]

Let me present another perspective. Moksa is the state one reaches through enlightenment, which ends the cycle of rebirth. So if this boy is the reincarnation of the Lama X (his name is too long), then Lama X has NOT reached enlightenment, correct? So ... why follow the teachings of Lama X? Lama X has failed in his spirituality, and the boy (the 10th) is proof of that. And why is Lama X only being reincarnated as a male? What happens to the poor females in the world of reincarnation? If reincarnation is true, where are the extra souls coming from, given that the population is always expanding? Someone told me that the present Dalai Lama (14th Lama) is so spiritual, that he described in such detail the trip to the moon, it is like he personally made the trip, but we all know he hasn't been to the moon physically. This is considered one of many proofs that he is an enlightened being and capable of seeing the past and future. But he didn't see the Chinese invading and taking over Tibet? One of the most significant events in his life? He had to be smuggled out of Tibet with the Chinese army virtually on his doorstep. Tibetan monks had to take up arms (prior to this they had a philosophy of non violence), in order to slow the advance of the Chinese, which gave the Lama just enough time to flee to India and become a refugee!!! I have doubts about his abilities.

Many hindu and Buddhist literature consider it as a 'Rastra' consisting of multiple Kingdoms at different points of time. The closest translation of 'Rastra' would be 'Nation' in terms of English.

DEAR DALAI LAMA: I trust these words will reach your ears. Please allow me to humbly offer a truly noble lineage and child for your consideration. You will already be familiar with the family I am sure. So here I just remind you of them and confirm their suitability as a lineage of truly wise Philosopher Kings. The family name is Dorji. They are the true and right leaders of Bhutan who were displaced by circumstance. The King who formulated the policy of Gross National Happiness (not the current one who continues it) must have been divinely inspired by such a concept. I had the honor of spending several years with and living with his son of excellent character and philosophical nature. His name is Thinly Dorji. I don't know where he is right now.... but he should be found. I believe he has had children with a very beloved wife. It's possible he even had grandchildren but I don't know. I have absolute certainty that among this lineage you will find the nobility, wisdom, and spirituality that is the equal of your exalted office. If it is the right person is for you to judge the details. I only point a direction. Who is it that recommends him? I am the most direct heir of the human indo-european empires known as the Roman and then the Byzantine. I'm Paris Sparrow on Facebook. Please give my words their proper weight and good luck to you my Brother in this life and the Next.
