The Tibetan Youth Congress strongly rejects the recent statement made by the Chinese-appointed monk at a state-sponsored symposium, which claimed that the reincarnations of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama must follow Chinese law and receive approval from Beijing. TYC condemns this assertion as a blatant political interference in Tibetan religious traditions and an attempt to legitimize state control over reincarnation.
TYC reaffirms that the recognition of Tibetan spiritual leaders is a sacred religious matter, free from external coercion, and firmly opposes any effort by the Chinese government to impose authority over Tibetan faith and identity.
