Buddhists: *Reincarnates*
China: *You got a licence for that?*

[KY-dggp]

8:45 this is literally how the Avatar was found.

[g]

Why Jesus has not returned: he forgot to apply for reincarnation.

[britisheastindiacompany]

Just imagine an undercover Chinese agent being elected as the Dalai-lama.

[KyrieRuwachHosanna]

10:00 "You need to apply for reincarnation."
10:55 "Reincarnation must apply to Chinese laws."

I totally LOLed at these parts.

So this would be the equivalent of Italy trying to regulate Catholicism, appointing the Pope by the Congress, and so on.

[ik]

I think you forgot to mention about the 11th Panchen Lama, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, which according to the tradition is the one supposed to be choosing the next Dalai Lama. He was ‘protected’ by the CCP after chosen by the current Dalai Lama in 1989 and has been the youngest political prisoner in the world ever since.
That is the reason why the next Dalai Lama may not be found/chosen/legitimate.
The CCP may release him as the new ‘leader’ of Tibet after the current Dalai Lama though. After his ‘re-education’, of course.

(For more you can look it up on wikipedia)

10:11 " application for reincarnation to the government for approval " this is a whole new level of oppression.

to put it simply:

the Fire Nation wants to control the reincarnation of the Avatar so that it doesn't arise from the Air Nomads again, but if the Fire Nation appoints a Pro-Fire Nation Avatar, a religious war could spark between the Fire Nation and The Air Nomads.

[SHDUStudios]

Dalai Lama: You can’t regulate the afterlife!

China: Hold my beer.

[mosesracal]

God: Jesus, my Son, You will reincarnate on the third day after Your act of salvation from the cross.
Jesus: Why on the third day Father?


God: Because we have to file an application of reincarnation first....

[Patrick-tmfk]

God: Let there be light
CCP: approved
So there's light...

[jg]

im impressed by your Chinese pronunciation. better than that plane channel lol

[moldveien]

Kind of important to mention that this isnt new by any means, the rulers have been meddeling in this process for a long time. This time it's just more coercive. Chinese emperors usually "helped" when the panchem or dalai lama couldnt do it on their own.

[benjaminhughes]

Why didn't you mention the Panchen Lama? It's kinda a huge part of the selection process and very relevant as the Chinese government kidnapped the child the Dalai Lama chose as the 11th Panchen Lama and have chosen their own one.

[AmabossReally]

China: We -
Polymatter: WRITE THAT DOWN GOD DAMMIT
