A new book written by the Dalai Lama reveals that his next incarnation will be born in the "free world," outside the boundaries controlled by the CCP.

The Dalai Lama’s successor will be born outside China, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism says in a new book, raising the stakes in a dispute with Beijing over control of the Himalayan region he fled more than six decades ago.

China labels the Dalai Lama a “separatist” and asserts that it will select his successor. However, the 89-year-old has stated that any successor chosen by China would not be honoured.

Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, emphasised that his successor would be born in the "free world," referring to areas outside of China, as reported by Radio Free Asia (RFA). Also Read: Footage emerges of Indian-origin student Sudiksha Konanki,
