A dispute has started between china and the current Dalai Lama over who will be the next i.e. the 15th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Dalai Lama has said that his successor will be from outside china, while on the other hand the Chinese government said that its approval will be necessary in the election of the Dalai Lama. The dispute between the two has increased over who will elect the next Dalai Lama.
After occupying Tibet, china wants to take control of the selection of the religious leader of Tibetan Buddhists in its hands. A similar dispute took place over the Panchen Lama. In 1995, the Dalai Lama appointed a 6-year-old boy as the Panchen Lama. Fearing this, china made the boy and his entire family disappear and no one knows where they are till date. Let us tell you how china was afraid of a 6-year-old boy.
China is afraid of Panchen Lama
In 1995, the Dalai Lama appointed a six-year-old boy as the chief representative of Tibetan Buddhism, i.e. the Panchen Lama. This decision worried China a lot, because the Panchen Lama plays a very important role in Tibet, both in religious and political terms. China tried to maintain its power and influence by taking this child under its control, so that it can keep its hold on Tibetan religion and politics strong. It has been 30 years till the year 2025. In these 30 years, no one has any information about the Panchen Lama of the Tibetans, where he is and what he is doing. Not only the Panchen Lama, but his entire family was made to disappear by China.
Why is the Chinese Communist government afraid of the Panchen Lama?
If a government needs to imprison a small 6-year-old boy, then the fear hidden inside him can be understood. The government of the Chinese Communist Party, one of the most powerful parties in the world, was very afraid of that Buddhist monk. This was because Tibetan Buddhists consider the Panchen Lama as the second highest religious leader after the Dalai Lama.
The Panchen Lama is a very important religious and spiritual position in the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. He is considered as the second highest leader of Tibetan Buddhism, after the Dalai Lama. The history of the Panchen Lama is linked to the esoteric concept of reincarnation and incarnations.
