  1. *From Bloomberg News reporter Sudhi Ranjan Sen:* 

    The Dalai Lama isn’t thinking about his reincarnation yet, he said on Monday, adding more uncertainty over who will succeed the octogenarian monk as China pushes for sway over the future of Tibet and its leadership.

    “The important thing is as long as I live I should use all my energies to help as many people as I can,” the Dalai Lama, 88, told a small group of reporters in the Indian town of Dharamshala, where the Tibetan government-in-exile is based.

    Questions about who will replace the Dalai Lama are sensitive, pitting China against nations like the US, which has warned Beijing against interfering in the process. Tibetan Buddhists are bracing for a turbulent period after the Dalai Lama’s death, including the possibility of multiple successors.

  2. Of course he has. He just won’t announce it yet.

  4. Yeah, I’m definitely going to demand a different planet next time.

  6. Probably just gonna reincarnate as some husky white kid from a small town in Texas.

  9. For anyone wondering:

    The current Dalai Lama came to the position before Tibet stopped being independent. He’s recognised both by China and the world as the Dalai Lama.

    This raises a problem in the modern age. When he dies, there’s gonna be a crisis over who is the new Dalai Lama, because China will pick someone who gives them control over the Lama’s followers, and the West will pick literally anyone else. This will cause a bad schism, because one will be propped up by the Communist Party, and the other will be vaguely recognised but due to recently, nowhere near known about.

  11. Summer 2024…

    Coming to a theatre near you…

    Adam Sandler is….

    Daddy Lama.

  15. Imagine the Dalai Lama reincarnates into an Actual Llama.

  16. Didn’t the Chinese government say they made a law to force him to reincarnate and that they would choose the vessel instead of letting the dala……..ffs cant even finish this, im sorry this is wild and hilarious.
    Religion is just wild , reincarnation and governments fighting it.

    Cant be taken seriously

  18. Is he gonna ask the boy to suck him tongue first?

  19. Huh

    Didn’t realize that was something he could control, like a super power

  22. Wouldn’t the fact that he’s implying its an option to not reincarnate at all imply he’s already achieved enlightenment?

    Is the Dalai Lamma Considered a full Bhodisatva? I’m not familiar with the specifics of Tibetan Buddhism.

  24. A lot of hilarious comments, but I’m going to point out the reasoning. Regardless of whether reincarnation is real, and if so, whether the Tibetans could really identify the reincarnation correctly, the Dalai Lama understands that the Chinese Communist Party’s next step is to announce his reincarnation and to solidify power behind a puppet leader.

    Therefore I believe he’s considering discontinuing this reincarnation lineage and to manually name a successor to prevent from being corrupted by the Chinese government.

  25. Wow, this makes me feel better, since all my friends reincarnated in college.

  28. From what I recall, they potentially want to end the line of succession so China can’t claim a Dalai Lama, right?

  29. Remember when this guy hosted the Nexium cult? He is not a serious person.

  30. Wait, we can *choose* to reincarnate?

    Who do we talk to about that?
