After India Snubs China, Tibet Tears Apart Beijing's 'Golden Urn' Tradition To Pick Dalai Successor After China claimed authority over the next reincarnation of the Tibetan spiritual leader through the so-called 'Golden Urn' system, India and Tibet's government-in-exile have hit back. Penpa Tsering, Sikyong (President) of the Central Tibetan Administration, slammed China for interfering in Tibetan religious affairs: 'Does a government that doesn't believe in religion have the right to choose our spiritual head?' He also challenged China's historical claim, noting that the Golden Urn was introduced only in 1793, while eight Dalai Lamas existed before that. India's Kiren Rijiju affirmed that only the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhist traditions can decide his reincarnation. The tension signals a rising global front against Beijing's growing religious interference.#dalailama #kirenrijiju #tibet, #india #china #goldenurn #penpatsering #dalailamasuccessor #tibetchina #goldenurndebunked #indiachina #centraltibetanadministration #tibetanbuddhism #chinareligionrow #freetibet #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews 2.8K views | 5 hours ago
