DALAI 2LST

The Dalai Lama said, "Since many years ago, I made it
very clear. If my death occurs while we remained outside, then
logically the very purpose of the new reincarnation is to
succeed the works started by previous life.
"So, reincarnation should be something to carry
continuously my sort of struggle. So, therefore logically
reincarnation will be outside Tibet."
The Tibetan leader was asked whether his recent comment
on having a female Dalai Lama was serious and he replied in
affirmative.
"Oh serious," he said, adding he did not say anything
new as he had said 20 years back that it was "possible".
"...female reincarnated person is more effective, most
useful for serving Buddha dharma, why not?"
Asked whether there will be any resistance to the idea
of a female Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader said broadly he
did not think so.
On whether he still believes he will be able to return
to his homeland before his death, the Dalai Lama said he was
optimistic.
The spiritual leader also accused China of carrying
out a "cultural genocide" in Tibet either "intentionally
or unintentionally" and said Tibetan culture and language is
under threat. PTI
