Dalai Lama at 90: Hints at His Successor, Warns China, And Defines a New Spiritual Framework

The Dalai Lama turns 90 on July 6 — and he’s making history once again. In a rare public statement during his birthday celebrations in Dharamshala, the Tibetan spiritual leader hinted that the 600-year-old institution of the Dalai Lama will continue with a “new framework.” As speculation rises about a successor being announced soon, the Dalai Lama also asserted that the next reincarnation will not be born in China but in a “free world.” With over 100 Buddhist leaders, global followers, and actor Richard Gere expected at the July 2–4 conference, this event may define the future of Tibetan Buddhism — and its struggle for autonomy. Watch now for full details, political context, and what’s at stake for Tibet, China, and the world.#dalailama #dalailama90 #dalailamabirthday #tibet #china #india #tibetanbuddhism #dalailamasuccessor #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
