No Hurry to Appoint Successor

Dhasa: Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama said any Dalai Lama chosen by China would have no moral legitimacy or following. Asked whether he would appoint someone in his lifetime, His Holiness told NDTV that he would continue to guide his community in the coming years. "I have not much concern about these things," His Holiness said.
"Sometimes I think the Chinese communists have more concern about Dalai Lama's successor than me. Silly, silly thinking, like that, so doesn't matter." "On the practical level, no hurry," he added. "I am quite healthy, so for another 10 to 20 years, I think, no problem," His Holiness added.
