I do not essentially suppose there will likely be an issue.
There are two situations which might go down.
-
Dalai Lama is the final Lama. He mentioned himself that as a result of circumstances of the battle with Beijing that he might not reincarnate (I.E. not permit a brand new Lama to be picked after his dying)
-
One is picked and his sect turns into the respectable sect. Atheism is the state customary within the PRC. Whereas they’ve spiritual individuals, the state itself will not be a spiritual physique. There is not any purpose why anybody would contemplate them an authority on who the Dalai Lama’s subsequent incarnation could be. Even when Beijing does choose a brand new Lama, they don’t have any connection to the present Lama’s group. They’d don’t have any legitimacy in authorizing such a call on a substitute.
I actually do not think about anybody would take China’s stance on the difficulty significantly in any regard. I do not think about this may change a lot.
Although if his sect would not choose a brand new incarnation and China does, that would theoretically end in China claiming an influence place over the narrative. It is an odd matter as a result of you’ll be able to’t predict how spiritual individuals will take it.
