Are you sure? In an early September issue of the New Yorker there was a story
which stated that the second-in-charge to the dalai lamai had died and that
his replacement was being held by the chinese, who were putting forward their
own candidate. also, this lamai is the one who is responsible for the
selection of the next dalai lamai, so if this incident isn't resolved it
could mean the end of Tibetan Buddhism.
