A new book written by the Dalai Lama reveals that his next incarnation will be born in the "free world," outside the boundaries controlled by the CCP.

The Dalai Lama’s successor will be born outside China, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism says in a new book, raising the stakes in a dispute with Beijing over control of the Himalayan region he fled more than six decades ago.

The Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhism's spiritual leader, insists his successor will be born outside China, challenging Beijing's authority. While China seeks control, the Dalai Lama aims to preserve Tibetan traditions and culture.

China labels the Dalai Lama a “separatist” and asserts that it will select his successor. However, the 89-year-old has stated that any successor chosen by China would not be honoured.

The Dalai Lama has said his successor will be born outside China - but Beijing says it will choose the next spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. Watch this report for more details!

In new book, Voice for the Voiceless, released in the UK and the US on March 11, Tibetan spiritual leader has said that his successor will be born in the ‘free world’, not China.
