The Dalai Lama affirms the continuity of his spiritual institution

On 2nd July, on the eve of his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama issued a solemn declaration stating that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue after his death.
The announcement, eagerly awaited by Buddhist communities around the world, reaffirmed the Tibetan spiritual leader's determination to preserve a tradition that dates back more than six centuries.

A response to the appeals of the Tibetan people

For more than 14 years, the Dalai Lama has received numerous letters and requests from Tibetan spiritual leaders, members of the Tibetan Parliament in exile, Buddhist associations and devotees from the Himalayas to Mongolia. All expressed a common wish: that the lineage of the Dalai Lamas should continue.
‘In agreement with all these requests, I confirm that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue’, he declared during his speech, which was transcribed on the official website dalailama.com.

A message of hope and continuity

This declaration is much more than a religious act: it is a symbol of cultural and spiritual resilience for the Tibetan people, both in exile and in Tibet. It also reaffirms the Dalai Lama's commitment to peace, compassion and religious freedom.
For readers of tintin.com, this news resonates with the universal values that Hergé embodied in his stories: the quest for truth, wisdom and respect for different cultures.
