Potala Palace | Episode 5: The Golden Urn

55:46

To regulate the Living Buddha reincarnation system within Tibetan Buddhism, the Qianlong Emperor (1711-1799) established the Golden Urn system, which became an important religious procedure and historical convention.

This episode of "Potala Palace" reconstructs how the Golden Urn was used and explains the Chinese central government's long-established role in the recognition and approval of reincarnated Living Buddhas throughout history.
