Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1Within Tibetan Buddhism, the successive Dalai Lamas form a lineage of (tulku) magistrates which traces back to 1391. According to tradition, the rarefied mindstream of these tulku take repeated births and embodiment to fulfill their Boddhisattva vow. They are of the Gelug School of Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhists hold the Dalai Lama to be one of innumerable incarnations of Avalokiteśvara ("Chenrezig" [spyan ras gzigs] in Tibetan), the bodhisattva of compassion.
That's as near as you get to a living God outside of the top ranks of Scientology & operating Thetans like Tom Cruise.
The Dalai Lama as early as 1969 said it was up to Tibetans to decide did they want the institution to continue. The "Tibetan in exile" government refined this by 1999 to mean the Buddha of Compassion would not be born in a country which wasn't free . Several hundred years happily reincarnating in a slave based medieval feudal theocracy & then bingo - Richard Nixon adds freedom to the equation.

But that wasn't just it. Oh no.
Times change & so do Gods.
Last year the Dalai Lama decided that the 13-14 million followers he claims (n.b. they aren't all ethnic Tibetans. one could live on your housing estate) ought to consider a referendum approving his reincarnation.

Gosh, you say. That's like regulating Lamaism. Quite I'd say. That's the name I put on the article I wrote about it right up this page. We're quite serious in the "guild of assassins" about what we do you know.

Dalai Lama in India on Tuesday threatens to resign. "God Quits" when the pacifists fight.
& you reckon only one of that quartet are sure to come back?
man shall not thrive on gold alone.:.
Now you can go several ways on this :-
a) profess another faith.
b) profess no faith.
c) join the sedevacantists & assert there has been no legitimate pontiff of Rome since the last Pius.
d) join the conclavists & assert you have your own Pope & accept as most of those have done the canonisation of Hitler & Franco.
Personally it's not God's representatives on Earth I worry about, it's Earth's representatives in Heaven.
Look after with widow's son & it will all be grand.:.
And the Pope is really God's representative on Earth?????
