As the Dalai Lama turns 90 on July 6, a spiritual and political storm brews over his succession. While the Tibetan leader has made it clear that China won’t decide his reincarnation, Beijing insists otherwise, backing its state-led “golden urn” method. The Dalai Lama has handed authority to the Gaden Phodrang Trust in India, deepening the divide. With India caught in the middle, tensions are rising at the crossroads of faith, identity, and geopolitics. This isn’t just about tradition—it’s about the future of Tibetan Buddhism itself. Watch the full video to understand what’s at stake and who decides what comes next.#dalailama #dalailamasuccession #tibetanbuddhism #chinavstibet #indiadiplomacy #reincarnation #geopolitics #tibetannationalism #spiritualleadership #gadenphodrangtrust #90thbirthday #goldenurn #dharamsala #internationalrelations #buddhistcommunity #toi #toibharat
