The Dalai Lama's Reincarnation  

CGTN

03:28

The reincarnation of Living Buddhas in Tibetan Buddhism dates back to the 13th Century, following religious rituals to identify and confirm reincarnated soul boys. Over time, it has become a historical convention for China's Central Government to approve the succession of the most influential Living Buddhas. This program shows rare archives how the 14th Dalai Lama was chosen and officially recognized. This history affirms a key principle: the Dalai Lama does not have the final authority to decide his successor.
