New Delhi: China will not allow external forces to interfere in the reincarnation process of Tibetan Buddhist monks, Beijing’s envoy to New Delhi, Xu Feihong, said, reacting to India’s Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju’s endorsement of the 14th Dalai Lama’s move to keep the government of the communist country away from the selection of his successor.
“The Chinese government upholds the principle of independence and self-governance in religious affairs and administers the reincarnation of Living Buddhas, including that of the Dalai Lama, in accordance with the law,”
Xu posted on the social media platform X on Sunday, adding: “No interference by any external forces will be allowed”.
He stressed that the conferment of their religious status and titles is the prerogative of the central government of China. “The reincarnation and succession of the Dalai Lama is inherently an internal affair of China,” added China’s ambassador to India.
