India backs Dalai Lama’s position on successor
Only Dalai Lama and its organization have the authority to describe his successor as the spiritual president of Tibetan Buddhism in an interpretation of Rina’s long -standing position.
Dalai Lama, who fled to India in 1959 after an unsuccessful uprising against the Chinese administration, said on Wednesday that he would be reincarne as the next spiritual leader and could only define the successor of Gaden Phodrang Trust.
He said he would be born outside China before.
Beijing says that Dalai Lama has the right to approve his successor as a legacy from Imperial Times.
On Sunday, the Parliamentary and Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju made a rare statement on Thursday before visiting the base of Dalai Lama’s Northern Indian town Dharamshala for the 90th birthday of the religious leader on Sunday.
“No one has the right to intervene or decide who will be the successor of Dalai Lama’s successor.”
“Only he has the authority to make this decision. He believes his followers deeply. It is important for students to decide on their successor for students in the world.”
In response to the statements, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned India against intervening in internal affairs at the expense of bilateral relations on Friday and called on to be cautious in his lyrics and actions.
“We hope that the Indian side will fully understand the extremely sensitive nature of the Tibetan problems, the 14th Dalai Lama will recognize the anti -Chinese separatist nature of Dalai Lama.” He said.
The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to the request for a comment on Dalai Lama’s successor plan.
Rijiju, a practical Buddhist, will participate in birthday celebrations.
It is estimated that India hosts tens of thousands of Tibetan Buddhists who are free to work and work there.
Many Indian Dalai Lama, and International Relations Experts say that his presence in India gives the new Delhi a leverage with China.
The relations between India and China were grimaced after a deadly border conflict in 2020, but now it is slowly developing.
