"It seems, despite his latest desire against being reborn, if the current Dalai Lama dies, the Chinese government will proceed to appoint his successor. Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, may not prevail against Beijing in the matter of his succession but he still has time to ensure a great legacy. The thorn in the flesh for him remains the opposition by the Shugden devotees to his religious ban. It seems only logical, instead of imitating Beijing in politicizing religion, the Dalai Lama should resolve the Shugden controversy in a peaceful manner."
