The current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, has made it clear that he will be reincarnated and that the process will take place according to Tibetan Buddhist traditions, not political dictates. His assertion is a direct rejection of China's claim that it holds the authority to appoint his successor - an outrageous attempt to control spiritual leadership for geopolitical leverage.

India, in a significant move, has backed the Dalai Lama's right to determine his reincarnation, reinforcing its support for Tibetan religious freedom and resisting China's authoritarian overreach.
