Speaking ahead of his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama has indicated that the Tibetan Buddhist institution could continue after his death after all.

The Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet's Buddhists, on Monday gave his strongest indication yet that the centuries-old institution could continue after his death.

Speaking at prayer celebrations ahead of his 90th birthday on July 6, Tenzin Gyatso told followers that "there will be some kind of a framework within which we can talk about its continuation."

Tibetan Buddhists believe that the Dalai Lama can choose the body into which he is reincarnated, as has happened on 14 occasions since the creation of the institution in 1587. But the current Dalai Lama has suggested in the past that he could potentially be the last.

South, north or swamp?

There's no way to know in advance. When the time comes we'll need to closely monitor Antarctica, Greenland, and the state of Louisiana.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
