Dalai Lama says he will have successor after his death | AFP #shorts

Description:

The Dalai Lama has said that the 600‑year‑old Tibetan spiritual institution would continue after his death, reassuring Buddhist followers around the globe and saying his office "exclusively" would name his successor, even as China insisted its central government would. It is a landmark decision for Tibetans, many of whom had feared a future without a leader, as well as for global supporters who see the Dalai Lama as a symbol of non‑violence, compassion and the enduring struggle for Tibetan cultural identity under Chinese rule.
