💨 Abstract

The Dalai Lama, revered by millions of Tibetan Buddhists, announced that there will be a successor after his death. He will turn 90 on July 6, 2025. His office will lead the search and recognition of the successor, a decision significant to Tibetans struggling to preserve their identity. China, which claims sole authority to approve the next religious leader, may be irked by this announcement.
