Dalai Lama Asserts Sole Authority Over Reincarnation Amid China’s Claims

In a landmark declaration just days before his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama has reaffirmed that the centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist institution will continue after his death—and that his reincarnation will be determined solely by the Gaden Phodrang Trust , a foundation he established. This move directly challenges China’s long-standing assertion that it holds the final say in selecting the next Dalai Lama. Speaking in a pre-recorded message during a religious gathering in Dharamshala, India, the exiled spiritual leader stated that no external political power, including China, has any authority  to interfere in the reincarnation process. He emphasized that the search for his successor will follow traditional Tibetan Buddhist practices and be overseen by senior monks and spiritual advisors connected to the Trust.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Yours is one of the birthdays of the year and if you put your mind to it there really is nothing you cannot accomplish. Use your mind to identify the goals that mean the most to you, then follow your heart until you reach them.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Your ambitions will change radically over the next few weeks, so prepare yourself mentally now so you are ready to hit the ground running when opportunity comes your way. Ignore those who try to divert you towards less challenging aims.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Some of the things you have been doing of late have not been cost efficient and now you must be ruthless and cut back on your goals. If today’s new moon brings an opportunity to move in a new career direction then don’t hesitate, just go!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Your opinions are likely to change radically over the next few days and in some areas you may even end up believing the opposite of what you believe now. Try not to forget that there is always a higher reason for what happens in your life.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

No, life is not conspiring against you and what occurs today is not more evidence that you are on the downward side of the curve. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and look beyond everyday disappointments, because the long-term prognosis is exceedingly good.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

What occurs over the next 24 hours will be challenging but it will also inspire you to do more and do better. The fact is you are living way below your true potential, creatively and professionally, and now is the perfect time to raise your game.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you spend too long worrying about the ethics of what you want to do you may never get around to actually doing it and that would be a shame because it is most likely your destiny. When the opportunity to move ahead arises, act fast!

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

A new moon in the most dynamic area of your chart means that something wonderful is about to happen in your life. It could be more wonderful still if you let friends and family members and workmates know what it is you most desire.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You can learn a lot about people by just watching them and something you notice about a colleague will make you realize they are smarter and more ambitious than you thought. Maybe you should get together and make up a team.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The message of the stars today is that you don’t need to limit yourself to one location or one particular group of friends. The more you are on the move and trying new things the more opportunities, for love and success, you will discover.


CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

What is it that you value most in life? Give that question some thought and when you come up with an answer – which must be honest – go all out to get more of it. The new moon means that almost any wish you make will be granted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

There have been times of late when you felt powerless in the face of forces you did not understand and could not control, but today’s new moon marks a turning point and it won’t be long before you are calling the shots. You’re on the way back!

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

When others need assistance you will give it with no questions asked, but you would be wise to keep your wits about you because there may be some people who seek to take advantage of your charitable nature. Be generous but be sensible too.
