It’s up to Dalai Lama whether he’ll be reborn, Buddhist leader says

BEIJING (Reuters) It is up to the Dalai Lama to decide whether he will be reborn, Tibetan Buddhism’s third highest religious leader said, after Chinese officials repeatedly said the exiled Dalai Lama had no right to abandon reincarnation.

Ogyen Trinley Dorje, who holds the title of Karmapa Lama and lives in exile in India, told Radio Free Asia in an interview in Washington that he had “complete belief” in the ability of the Dalai Lama to decide his fate after death.

“In Tibetan traditions, we don’t talk much about the reincarnation of a living master,” he said late on Wednesday.
