The Dalai Lama has declared that his successor will be born outside of China, directly challenging Beijing’s claims over the selection process. In his new book, he urges Tibetans to reject any successor chosen by the Chinese government, emphasizing that the search should follow traditional Buddhist practices. The book also outlines a 'framework' for Tibet’s future after his death, aiming to guide Tibetans in their struggle for autonomy. This announcement intensifies tensions between Tibetan exiles and China, as seen in recent protests outside the Chinese Embassy in India. The move sets the stage for a major political and religious confrontation over Tibet’s leadership.
