"Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission from China’s atheist leaders."I spent a long time thinking how to paraphrase that line from Times Online, but eventually decided, why tamper with art?
This is part of a 14-part regulation issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, aimed at limiting the influence of Tibet’s exiled god-king. Okay, that's the first part. What are the other 13?
- No reincarnating without permission.
- I mean it.
- Think I'm joking?
- Look, mush, no freakin' reincarnating, right?
I wonder if you have to submit a recent photo with the application form.
kind of puts an end to that religion!
ReplyDeleteI believe the current Dalai Lama has already declared that he won't be reincarnated in Tibet or China. Loophole!
