Given the growing influence of China in Tibet and Buddhism, the Dalai Lama has also clearly stated that China will have no role in the selection of his successor. Even if China tries to do this, it will not be tolerated.
China has also responded to this. China says that the successor of the Dalai Lama will have to take the approval of the central government. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said-
The rebirth of the Dalai Lama will have to follow Chinese laws and rules as well as religious rituals and historical traditions.

Handed over responsibility to Gaden Fodang Trust The 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso told through a video message that he has entrusted the responsibility of selecting his successor to the ‘Gaden Fodang Trust’. He reiterated that the trust has the right to the entire Dalai Lama’s identity and recognition. No other person, organization or government can interfere in this process.
China cannot even appoint The Dalai Lama said that no one other than the trust could appoint the next Dalai Lama. This announcement put an end to the discussions that China was said to have appointed the 15th Dalai Lama itself after the death of the current Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama said in his video message- In 1969, we made it clear that the people concerned should decide to continue the institution. In the last 14 years, we have received urges from all over the world, especially from Tibet, to continue the institution.
He said that on 24 September 2011, he had also said that when he would be around 90 years, he would take a decision on this subject.
The conference was attended by major Lamas of various traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan Parliament, Civil Society, organizations and representatives of the Tibetan community from all over the world.
CTA leader said- China is trying to take advantage of this tradition During the program, Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) leader Peppa Sharing accused China at a press conference held in Dharamshala that it was making the succession of the Dalai Lama a political weapon. He said, “China is trying to use this tradition for political gains, which is completely condemnable. It is a spiritual process and we will not accept any external intervention in it.”
Peenpa Shering also said that currently the policies of the Chinese government are trying to eradicate Tibetan identity, language and religion. The government of Xi Jinping is targeting the cultural and religious roots of Tibetan people.

Dalai Lama has also said these things in the book The current Dalai Lama will turn 90 years old on 6 July. After this, decision on his successor is possible. In March this year, the Dalai Lama’s book Voice for the Diocestas has also written that he will be reborn in an independent world outside China, where the freedom of Tibetan Buddhism remains.
He has written that the purpose of his rebirth is to pursue his work. Therefore, the new Dalai Lama will be born in an independent world, so that it can lead the Tibetan Buddhism and symbolize the aspirations of the Tibetan people.
China rejected the statement of Dalai Lama There was also a reaction from China on the matter in the book. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning dismissed the statement written in the book of Dalai Lama. Also said that the Dalai Lama has no right to represent Tibetan people.
The spokesperson said that Buddha’s lineage developed in Tibet, China. Accordingly, the selection of his successor will also be according to the Chinese law and traditions. He claimed that in the year 1793, the King Dynasty started the Golden Arn process. Under it, China itself has the right to approve the Dalai Lama’s successor.
Dalai Lama said- this process is not in use However, the Tibetan community and the Dalai Lama rejected China’s claim. He said that the Golden Arn process was used only for the 11th and 12th Dalai Lama. It was not used in the selection of 9th, 13th, and 14th Dalai Lama.
