Reporting from Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan administration in exile have been based for over half a century
As the Dalai Lama turns 90 this month, he is focusing attention on the future of Tibetan Buddhism and the exiled Tibetan nation.
The spiritual leader, who led a flock of tens of thousands out of Tibet and into exile to escape Chinese persecution nearly seven decades ago, has promised to reveal a plan for naming his successor.
The Dalai Lama has hinted that he might upend established practices for his succession, as part of an apparent strategy to throw off the Chinese government and avoid a vacuum that Beijing can exploit as it seeks to control Tibetan Buddhism.
