Dalai Lama names a boy as the 10th Khalkha Jetsun Dharmpa Rinpoche
A United States-born, Mongolian boy has been named the 10th Khalkha Jetsun Dharmpa Rinpoche which is the third highest rank in Tibetan Buddhism, by the Dalai Lama, according to a report.
As per the media reports, the Dalai Lama was pictured with the eight-year-old boy taking part in a ceremony held on March 8 in Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala. It is the place where Buddhist leader lives in exile.
The 10th Khalkha is one of the twin boys named Aguidau and Achiltai Attanmar and belongs to one of the richest business and political empires in Ulan Bator.
This moves to appoint a small boy as the third highest lama in Tibetan Buddhism is likely to irk China, which has been adamant that it will only recognize Buddhist leaders chosen by its own government. According to the report, news of the ceremony was met with both excitement and apprehension as the threat of China’s displeasure over the move lingers.
In 1995, when the Dalai Lama was named the 11th Panchem Lama, Chinese authorities swiftly kidnapped him and his family, and he was never seen or heard of again. China then replaced the Panchen Lama, the second most important spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism, with its own candidate.
