Could the next Dalai Lama be reincarnated in Australia?

Tibet’s highest religious leader, the Dalai Lama, has just celebrated his 89th birthday. And though he’s prophesied that he’ll live to 111, questions are being asked about what his succession plan will be.
And considering Tibet’s struggle of control and independence against China, who replaces him will have large consequences for many people.
But given the Buddhist belief that the Dalai Lama will be reincarnated, how will we know where his replacement will be found? Could they be here in Australia? Or is there a chance that the current Dalai Lama could be the last?
In this episode, The Briefing’s Simon Beaton speaks with Tibetan Buddhism expert John Powers to find out.

You gotta love the self-centered Australian News.

We're not saying the next Dalai Lama will reincarnate in Australia... Just making the point that we truly do not know where the next Dalai Lama will reincarnate... and whether a replacement will even be found.
