Hailing from Ngaba county, Amdo region of Tibet, Gyatso was born to a family of supreme leaders. His father Gyatso was a minister at the court of Pelgon Thinley Rabten, the last king of Ngaba라이브 바카라 Meu kingdom.

China라이브 바카라 growing tension with Dalai Lama
It is believed that every Dalai Lama embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is seen as the foremost leader of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. After the death of each Dalai Lama, a search is conducted in Tibet following many signs including where the former Dalai Lama was looking when he died, in which direction the wind was blowing when he was cremated and so on, to find his reincarnation.
However, with the Chinese invasion into the Tibetan territory in 1950, this process of finding the next divine leader remains uncertain. In 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama -- Tenzin Gyatso -- fled to India and settled in Dharamshala. There, a Dalai Lama government was set up in exile. 바카라 웹사이트
Dalai Lama is revered by the Tibetan people and his exile most certainly irked the Tibetans. Further, China라이브 바카라 intrusion and manipulation of the selection process has angered the Tibetans as China wants to appoint its own Dalai Lama as opposed to Tibetan Buddhists, who want to be in charge of the selection process of the Dalai Lama.
The Chinese government, in 1995, also caused the disappearance of Dalai Lama라이브 바카라 choice for the successor of Panchen Lama and appointed its own.바카라 웹사이트 The Panchen Lama is the second most important tulku lineage in Tibetan Buddhism.
By law, it is now mandatory to seek approval from the Chinese government while selecting the reincarnation of all senior Buddhist leaders (Lamas). This move has been strongly rejected by the Dalai Lama and his government-in-exile, which describes it as the politicisation of reincarnation.
