BEIJING - - Tibetan living Buddhas are no longer allowed to be
reincarnated without permission from the atheist Chinese government,
state media reported Friday.
The new rules are "an important move to institutionalise the
management of reincarnation of living Buddhas," the Xinhua news
agency said.
According to the regulations, which take effect on September 1, all
reincarnation applications must be submitted to religious affairs
officials for approval, Xinhua said.
Hey Kids! Alla you who want to reincarnate as a Buddha, line up! (Hmm....does this mean we'd have to reincarnate in China? I wonder if there is a special application for reincarnating in say......Brazil or Sicily...somewhere warm with good food.)
