CNN: A boy chosen as the Panchen Lama disappeared in 1995. China says he's now a college grad with a job and that neither he nor his family wished to be disturbed in their current normal lives.
VINCENT METTEN: Chinese authorities arbitrarily detained Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, a six-year-old boy recognised by the Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama — Tibetan Buddhism’s 2nd most important religious figure — and installed their own candidate instead.
WIKIPEDIA: The selection process for the Newly Resurrected Dalai Lama (ཏཱ་ལའི་བླ་མ་ meaning "Guro of the Ocean" or "Rabbi of the Ocean") may prove controversial, as the officially Communist Chinese government has expressed unusual interest in picking him and claims it has the right to do so. The Dalai Lama is believed by Buddhists to be able to pick the body into which he is reincarnated. It shall be very, very difficult for High Lamas to actually find him. Once identified, the successful candidate and his family are translated to Tibet where their son will study the Buddhist scriptures in order to prepare for spiritual leadership. The Dalai Lama could also be Feminine.
BROOKE SCHEDNECK: Tenzin Gyatso has stated is that if he dies outside of Tibet, his reincarnation would be located within the Diaspora.
GENEXOLEV ASHTIANI: Even Christ hates His churches to be pimped out.
LAHAV HARKOV: Its king’s official title is Dragon King.
BRAHMA CHELLANEY: China’s construction of a village is just the latest example of how it is applying the South China Sea model to encroach on areas inside India, Bhutan and Nepal.
“Both houses of Bhutan's parliament approved a bill on Thursday to legalize gay sex, making the tiny Himalayan kingdom the latest Asian nation to take steps towards easing restrictions on same-sex relationships.”

Wayne Dupree: Meanwhile, China is pushing closer to the borders of Taiwan and, from what I hear, are thinking about making their way into Nepal and northern India.

AlHaTorah.org: Josephus also relates how, even in his own time, it was a custom for people to take their household idols when emigrating. Ibn Ezra says more explicitly (and more radically) that Rachel (and the other wives and children) had learned idolatrous worship from her father and had not yet totally forsaken it.
BARBARA DEMICK: Some will call it dhulok, a word that roughly translates as the "collapse of time," or, hauntingly, "when the sky and earth changed places."
ERIC KURLANDER: Nazis believed that Tibet was the home of an ancient Indo-Aryan people who had fled the destruction of their Ur-Aryan civilisation (Atlantis or Thule) after a series of floods. Otto Rahn's theories linked Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and Indo-Aryan mythology with the paganism, Luciferianism and witchcraft practised across Germany in the Middle Ages, at places such as Brocken in the Harz mountains, the site of the Walpurgis Night scene in Goethe's Faust. Otto Rahn speculated that the Grail lay at the centre of a medieval cult of Luciferians – literally, devil worshippers – who practised a pagan, Ur-Aryan religion drawn from Tibet and Northern India via Persia.
Johannes Nugroho: all high lamas of Tibet must be approved by the Chinese government.
Caroline Anderson: Ask God to help Christians discern the biblical differences related to Buddhist terms and concepts so they can intelligently communicate the gospel (Prov. 2:2–3; 2 Tim. 2:7).
Thomas C. Fox: Buddhism does not affirm the existence of God. It has been described as an "atheistic" religion. Buddha was enlightened; Jesus was divine. That’s a big difference, isn’t it?
Ken Chitwood: a secular, clinical approach is not enough.

Juan R. Francisco, "A Note on the Golden Image of Agusan" (1963): It seems likely that the image is a goddess of the Buddhist pantheon, in the Mahayana group. It is related to the concept of a female Boddhisattva, and at the same time the counterpart of the Hindu goddess (Sakti), as a Tara (or wife of a Buddhist god), which is a peculiar development of Buddhism in Southeast Asia.
TAYLOR ECHOLLS: In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, followers will observe the death of a loved one by shaving their head.
STUART D. B. PICKEN: In Japanese Buddhism, the vows, which require strictness in life are taken on behalf of the deceased after death. "I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sanga" is all they need say to become monks. Kaimyo is the term for the name a monk receives on ordination. The deceased is also given a posthumous name created by a priest.
"I take refuge in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" is all they need say to become monks.
