POPSChina Bans Reincarnation The question is, what can they really do to prevent a Tulku or a Lama from being recognized? Even if the authorities can limit the influence of such figures, but Tibet is a big place with borders that are hard to secure. It wouldn't be impossible to get any such boy out of the country where he could be invested with his office in exile, as is the current Dalai Lama. In any case, the government cannot prevent the spiritual process of reincarnation any more than they could command a Christian to go to heaven or hell.

POPSthought for the day... before I go to lunch.... the other night I had a complete freak out session. I was lying in bed and thought 'so, do I believe in an afterlife? what if I don't' believe in an afterlife? Does that mean there's just nothing? Forever? But forever is.... forever. It's never, ever again. Can I accept that once I die, that's it, there's never again, for ever. What is dead forever? Is that just blackness and nothing.....' Incoherent thoughts but once I started really thinking about what nothing and forever was, I got really freaked. As I read the below, I was calmed. I'm sure if I sit and think about what it says, I'm going to get all freaked out again. Or maybe it'll convince me that Buddhism with their belief in reincarnation & nirvana is the way to go....

POPSDalai Lama breaks with tradition to counter China The Chinese again show their intolerance. Much the same as the Russians and other fascist regimes. Other fascist regimes are ruled by religion. Confusing unless you accept that religions have become tools to be exploited.
