The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, said on Wednesday that the 600 -year -old institution would continue after his death. He said that “the Dalai Lama institution will continue” and Gaden Podrang Trust has the exclusive power to recognize future reincarnation.
The Dalai Lama remembered a statement about whether the Dalai Lama institution should continue during the meeting of the heads of Tibetan spiritual traditions on September 24, 2011.
“I confirm that the Dalai Lama institution will continue,” he said in a video broadcast at the beginning of a meeting of religious leaders in the Himalayan city, where he has lived for decades.
The Dalai Lama noted that he had not made any public statements over the last 14 years. However, the leaders of the spiritual traditions of Tibet wrote to him with reasons and seriously asked for the Dalai Lama institutions to continue.
Future Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama stated in a statement published X that in a statement of September 24, 2011, a process was clearly determined to be recognized by the future Dalai Lama.
“He states that the responsibility for this will be exclusively with members of the trust Gaden Podrang Trust, the office of his holiness of the Dalai Lama,” the spiritual leader said.
He said that members of Gaden Podrang Trust should consult various heads of Tibetan Buddhist traditions and reliable oaths linked to oaths, which are inseparably associated with Dalai Lamas.
“Therefore, they should perform search and recognition procedures in accordance with the past tradition,” he added.
The decision to continue the Dalai Lama institution ended the years of waiting for followers of the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader for details of his sequence.
In addition, Wednesday’s announcement will have a deep impact on its Buddhist followers, AFP press agency reported.
