Why has the Dalai Lama not publicly stated who his next "Regent" will be?
The Dalai Lama could suddenly die tonight and leave a void in his leadership and administration.
When this Dalai Lama dies a "Regent" will take over to find, recognize and enthrone his reincarnation as the next 15th Dalai Lama.
This "Regent" will have total power over the incarnation's education and administration until his 18th birthday.
Why not tell every one who his is so there will be no confusion after his death?
Why the mystery about your next "Regent"??
