The president of the Tibetan government-in-exile has warned China not to interfere in selecting the successor to the Dalai Lama, the current spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. "No government should have any role in this spiritual matter and I think it is much wiser for China (not to interfere)," Penpa Tsering said in a recent interview with Kyodo News, adding that the succession will ultimately be decided by the 14th Dalai Lama. Penpa Tsering, president of the Tibetan government-in-exile, speaks in an interview with Kyodo News on March 9, 2023, in Dharamsala, northern India.
