📎 The Dalai Lama's 2011 Statement on Reincarnation makes the following points

* The continuation of the Dalai Lama institution depends on the wishes of the Tibetan people.

* The authority to determine a future reincarnation rests with the Dalai Lama's institution and Tibetan Buddhist traditions.

* A future Dalai Lama may be born outside China.

* Any candidate chosen by the Chinese Government will lack legitimacy in the eyes of Tibetans.
