Commentary: China’s atheist rulers plot endgame for Tibet (By Tim Johnson)
By Tim Johnson | McClatchy Newspapers | March 9, 2011
March is typically a tense month for Tibetans under the yoke of their
Chinese rulers. It marks the anniversary of the Dalai Lama’s 1959 flight
into exile. Protests, like ones in 2008, typically erupt this month.

If any unrest occurs this year, few foreigners will be present. As in past
years, China has shut the door to foreign tourism to Tibet this month,
keeping the world’s eyes away. It wants no witnesses.
In reality, something more sinister is unfolding. China’s ruling party
quietly plots the endgame for Tibet, scheming to handpick a docile
reincarnation to the actual Dalai Lama and crush any hopes for greater
freedom.
The current Dalai Lama, whom Tibetans believe is 14th in a line of
reincarnations, will be 76 this year. He enjoys good health. His physicians
tell him he has the body of a man in his 60s.
Yet the Dalai Lama is entering the twilight of a life of extraordinary
achievement — and a measure of failure. From humble beginnings in a nomadic
home, the Dalai Lama has arisen as a universal moral figure transcending
Tibetan Buddhism.
He encourages interfaith harmony, preaching a message of warm-hearted,
loving compassion for family and community. Millions of people flock to hear
him speak. His charisma unsettles China’s leaders.
Despite his renown, and the publicity he has brought to the plight of the
world’s 5.5 million Tibetans, the Dalai Lama has failed to improve the
lives of Tibetans under China’s stranglehold, living in conditions that
ensure their identity will grow evermore diluted and weak.
China’s Communist leaders struggle to block the revolutions shaking the
Arab world from infecting their own restive minorities, particularly the
Tibetans, whose high-mountain homeland holds precious water in the form of
glaciers that feed Asia’s mightiest rivers.
And they patiently await the Dalai Lama’s death. Once he dies, their plan
is to dictate the terms of reincarnation, handpicking a youngster as a
reincarnated Dalai Lama compliant to their interests.
Party leaders announced in mid-2007 that they held sole power to approve any
reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. They offered no religious basis, saying
only that it was important to halt the influence of people from “outside
the country.”
Clearly they do not want Tibetan exiles, including the Dalai Lama, to have a
say in his own reincarnation or for a future Dalai Lama to be born outside
of China’s borders.
For his part, the Dalai Lama says Tibetans are free to break with tradition.
They may decide if a reincarnation should occur, even if it might be a girl
. In another twist, he says an obscure esoteric practice might allow a
reincarnation to be found before he himself dies. The only condition is that
the reincarnation must be born in freedom outside China.
On Monday (March 7), the party’s governor in Tibet, Padma Choling, shed new
light on Beijing’s plans. During the annual meeting of the Chinese
legislature, he said the Dalai Lama would not be allowed to break with
tradition or single-handedly abolish the institution of reincarnation.
“It’s impossible, that’s what I think,” Padma Choling said, according to
Reuters. “We must respect the historical institutions and religious
rituals of Tibetan Buddhism.”
Party leaders claim that one of those rituals involves drawing lots from a
golden urn with the names of candidates to serve as the 15th Dalai Lama.
Some versions say the names will be held in sealed silk purses. Others
suggest that the names will be on slips of paper inside molded balls of
roasted barley. How easy will it be to ensure that China’s favored
candidate is selected? China is a space-faring nation, and it won’t be
rocket science.
When Padma Choling says Tibetans must “respect … religious rituals,” what
he means is that China must be allowed to rig the process.
China’s atheist Communist leaders now view themselves as arbiters of
religious rituals as esoteric as reincarnation — as if they had meditated
on Buddhist texts while reading Marx’s Das Kapital and Mao’s Little Red
Book.
In the end, it’s all about control. The party wants to dilute Tibetan
culture, and ensure that all Tibetan high lamas, particularly the Dalai Lama
, no longer represent a threat to its monopoly on power.
You can bet a molded ball of roasted barley on that.
