The Golden Urn Lottery

CGTN

04:50

In Old Xizang, reincarnation served as a tool to maintain sectarian power and interests, often manipulated through corruption. A turning point came during Emperor Qianlong's reign when the Qing Central Government introduced the Golden Urn system, establishing a standardized and legally recognized selection process. This historical convention ensured fairness, prevented fraudulent claims, and reinforced state sovereignty. As a result, the Golden Urn remains key in determining the legitimate reincarnation of the Dalai Lama.
