Biography Flash: Dalai Lama at 90 - Prague Declaration Defies China's Reincarnation Control Plans
The 14th Dalai Lama Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Here's your Biography Flash episode update on the 14th Dalai Lama:
The 14th Dalai Lama has been in the spotlight recently with several significant developments that underscore both his spiritual leadership and the ongoing international tensions surrounding his legacy. Most notably, just days ago on November 26th, His Holiness attended a long life prayer ceremony offered by representatives of the people of Mongolia at the Main Tibetan Temple, continuing the steady stream of birthday celebrations marking his 90 years of life.
But perhaps the most consequential news came earlier this month when a major international declaration emerged from Prague. On November 12th and 13th, the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance held its fifth anniversary conference at Prague Castle, concluding with the Prague Declaration on Freedom of Religion or Belief 2025. This declaration explicitly affirms that the Tibetan Buddhist community alone holds the exclusive right to identify the next Dalai Lama, completely free from state interference. The timing is crucial because this represents a forceful international rebuke to China's growing attempts to control the recognition process of the 15th Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama's own government-in-exile, represented by Sikyong Penpa Tsering, presented a letter from His Holiness during the Prague conference, formally warning that China's efforts to manipulate the reincarnation process form part of a broader strategy to tighten control over the Tibetan people. This follows the Dalai Lama's own earlier statements suggesting his successor may be born outside China, a position that has significantly rattled Beijing.
On November 19th, the Dalai Lama met with more than 180 Chinese monks and nuns from three Taiwanese monasteries at his office in Dharamshala, demonstrating his continued outreach to Buddhist communities across Chinese-speaking regions despite political tensions.
Just days before that, on November 17th, more than 6,000 people gathered at the Main Tibetan Temple to celebrate the 75th anniversary of his assumption of spiritual and temporal leadership of Tibet, an event that underscored his enduring influence and the deep respect he commands among his followers worldwide.
The convergence of these events shows a spiritual leader navigating complex geopolitical waters while maintaining his core mission of spreading Buddhism and compassion on the global stage.
