This apparently isn't even the "real" Panchen Lama, but is the one chosen by China to replace the one that was kidnapped and was chosen by the Dalai Lama.
You know it's a fake Panchen Lama because they're saying the next Dalai Lama must adhere to what an atheist government that was responsible for annexing and taking over their land has to say.
Why would the rules of reincarnations be subject to any laws of man? How is it that Beijing could possibly exert control over metaphysical powers? To suggest so, proves the speaker does not believe in reincarnation and should be ignored on the subject, no?
No authority greater than Xi Xing Ping is absolute authoritarianism.
The Panchen Lama is a puppet of the CCP.
This is incredibly stupid.
So a reincarnation based religious system that spans countless realities, creatures, and millennia is somehow beholden to this reality's 76 year old country led by a dictator? Makes sense.
Once again, I'm humbled just when I think the universe can't create a brand new sentence.
The catholic church also made a deal so they could continue operating there, they have to acknowledge that the CCP is more important than god.
I thought the Dalai Lama said the he would not reincarnate.
Obviously because he know chinese influence would institute someone who supports Chinese control as the next Dalai lama.
Different lama.
The Dalai Lama is the boss lama. The Panchen Lama is a second-tier Lama who has come under the control of the Chinese imperialists.
Ah right, the chinese budhism.
Tibetan Buddhism with Chinese characteristics
