30 years since the disappearance of the Dalai Lama chosen Panchen Lama
This meeting took place in the 30th year of the disappearance of the Panchen Lama appointed by the Dalai Lama. After the death of the 10th Panchen Lama in 1989, the Dalai Lama named the Tibetan child Gedhun Choekyi Nyima as reincarnation of his colleague. But just three days after his appointment, Gedhun disappeared with his family, according to the US government by the Communist Party, which appointed an alternative Panchen Lama. Gedhun was since then not publicly seen.
US reactions to the disappearance
On the occasion of the anniversary, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sentenced the Chinese authorities to "kidnap" Gedhun and his family. He asked Beijing to leave Gedhun Choekyi Nyima immediately and "end the persecution of the Tibetans because of their religious beliefs." In 2020, the Chinese government publicly recognized the fate of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima and described him as a "university graduate with a job" who and his family did not want to be disturbed.The role of Gyaltsen Norbu
since Gyaltsen Norbu has grown up, he has become increasingly important, Contribution and often appeared in Beijing and large crowds in the Tibetan regions of China.
The controversial legacy
The controversial appointment of the Panchen Lama is viewed by experts and the Tibetan exile community as an attempt to pave the way for the death and reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, who has lived in exile since 1959 after he had fled to India after a failed Tibetan uprising against the rule of the communist party. For decades, the Dalai Lama was a constant thorn in the eye in Beijings because he maintained the loyalty of many Tibetan people in the exile band and their struggle for greater autonomy on the global political stage. Chinese officials convicted the Nobel laureate as "separatists" and "Wolf in the monk dress".
look into the future
The Dalai Lama has announced that details on his Succession to announce his 90th birthday in July. In his latest book "Voice for the Voiceless", the Dalai Lama explained that his successor was born in the "free world", which he defines as outside of China. However, Beijing has insisted that it will choose its successor and the reincarnation of all Tibetan Buddhist Lamas. However, the Dalai Lama and his supporters have explained that every successor named by China would not be respected.
