No reincarnating without a government permit!
This would be funny if it wasn’t a ploy to keep the Dalai Lama from recognizing tulkus and an attempt to win Chinese government control over who the lamas will be.
May all the baby tulkus happily chew up their reincarnating-without-a-permit citations and burble at the disgruntled officials until they shuffle off embarrassed at their ridiculous trangressions… If only it were so simple and the dangerous beaurocrats in power so easily defeated.
Oh Mani Peme Hung.
