As the Dalai Lama turns 90, the question of his successor is drawing global attention — not just spiritually, but a deeply political one for China, India, and the U.S.
The succession of the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader and Nobel laureate, has become a global flashpoint, with China, India, and the U.S. all closely watching how the next incarnation will be chosen.
Tibetan officials in Dharamshala say the Gaden Phodrang Foundation will independently identify and recognize the Dalai Lama’s successor without Beijing’s involvement. China, meanwhile, insists any reincarnation must follow its legal procedures, including use of a golden urn and birth within China’s borders.
India, home to the Dalai Lama and more than 100,000 Tibetans, holds quiet strategic influence over the issue, especially in light of its fraught relations with China.
The U.S. has also voiced strong opposition to any Chinese role in the succession, with recent legislation underscoring American support for Tibetan autonomy and religious freedom.
As Beijing continues to label the Dalai Lama a separatist and bans public reverence of him in Tibet, his succession promises to be not just a spiritual milestone, but a geopolitical flashpoint between competing powers.
