Status: offline 		BEIJING - Scores of people were arrested in a traditionally Tibetan area of western China following public calls for the return of Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, reports said Friday.

Also Friday, China moved to tighten its control over Tibetan Buddhism by asserting the communist government’s sole right to recognize Buddhist reincarnations of the lamas that form the backbone of the religion’s clergy.

All future incarnations of living Buddhas related to Tibetan Buddhism “must get government approval,” the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing the State Administration for Religious Affairs.

The one eventually chosen will be at the blessing of the government of China.

They just want to heat their homes, not kill all you round eyes.

The Chinese may not be able to make their appointee stick, the Tibetans can pick someone outside of Chinese control.

Well, his brother Tony, the bootmaker, says it can go either way.
 
Yeah, I misspell the shit out of it, usually.
