The leader of Tibetan Buddhism says it is possible that when he dies, the next Dalai Lama might be found in India. He also said that if China appoints the next Dalai Lama, the choice would not be respected. The Buddhist leader spoke to the Reuters news agency from Dharamshala, India, where he has lived in exile for 60 years. On Sunday, Tibetans in that town marked the anniversary of the Dalai Lama’s escape from Lhasa in Tibet. He fled to India in early 1959 after a failed attempt to end Chinese rule in the area. He has since worked to gain worldwide support for self-rule for Tibet. China took control of the territory in 1950. It considers the 83-year-old Buddhist leader and Nobel peace prize winner a dangerous separatist. China has argued that its leaders have the historical right to approve the Dalai Lama’s successor. The Dalai Lama told Reuters China may try to do so after he dies.
