The controversy over the successor of the Dalai Lama, the biggest religious leader of the Tibetans, is increasing. China has said that its consent is necessary while choosing the successor of the Dalai Lama, but the Dalai Lama has denied this. On the occasion of his birthday, the Dalai Lama can make a big announcement about his successor and reincarnation, on which China's eyes are fixed. China says that the successor should be chosen by the 'Swarna Kalash' method, but the Dalai Lama has rejected it.
The Dalai Lama has clarified that the next Tibetan religious leader Dalai Lama will be selected by his organization Gaden Phodrang Trust and this trust will also decide on the recognition of his reincarnation. In such a situation, people want to know how the Dalai Lama is elected and how is it decided after rebirth that the child born in the future will be the incarnation of the Dalai Lama.
Dalai Lama is reborn
According to the beliefs of Tibetan Buddhism, Dalai Lama is reborn. That is, when Dalai Lama dies, he is born as a child in the future. The Dalai Lama is announced only after the search for this child is completed. This search is done by the officials of Gaden Phodrang Trust. Usually, the search for the next Dalai Lama begins only 9 months after the death of the current Dalai Lama.
How is it decided that the child is the Dalai Lama?
The biggest question is how is it decided that a child is the incarnation of Dalai Lama? Actually, many types of processes are adopted for this. While searching for the successor of Dalai Lama, the officials of the organization adopt many methods, in which a prophecy, the signs given by the current Dalai Lama at the last moment and the condition of his dead body also matter. During this, many potential children are tested and many things of the previous Dalai Lama are shown to them. It is seen whether the child is able to recognize those things or not. If the child recognizes those things then he is considered the Dalai Lama, after which the next Dalai Lama is announced. After this, he is given religious education and other training. Let us tell you, under this process, the current Dalai Lama was also selected at the age of two years.
