The Dalai Lama has announced that he intends to reincarnate, paving the way for a successor to take on a mantle stretching back 500 years after his death

"Be careful, people are watching you."As the men tailing us come running, the monk walks away."They" are the Communist Party of China, which has now governed more than six million Tibetans for almost 75 years,

The Dalai Lama says he'll have a successor, after all, ending years of speculation that he might be the last person to hold the role and meaning he'd be reincarnated.
