China Issues New Rules on Reincarnation
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama has already said that he will not be reborn in an are under Chinese control. How does he know this? "Logically," he says, "the previous life escaped from Chinese hands so the next life should also be out of Chinese control." That might strike some as a little silly, but far from laughing, the People's Republic recently issued a proclamation banning tulkus from reincarnating without government permission.

I wonder what the application process is?

Thanks for the post! I wonder what the punishment would be for reincarnating without permission, and who would keep track of these “infractions”. So many questions arise.
