Dalai Lama pledges he won’t be the final leader of Tibetan Buddhism

The Dalai Lama has confirmed he will have a successor after his death, maintaining a centuries-old tradition amid ongoing tensions with China over Tibet’s future. He made the announcement in a video message to religious leaders in Dharamshala, India, where he has lived since fleeing Tibet in 1959. This news has stirred strong emotions among his Buddhist followers in the region, as FRANCE 24’s Navodita Kumari explains.
