What would be really cool, was if the kid didn’t belong to a Tibetan buddhist family. It was just some random kid in rural Alabama. Think about it: “We have found the 15th Dalai Lama! It’s a boy called Billybob Jackson”
There’s sort of a King of the Hill episode about that. Bobby inadvertently gets put in the mix when a group of Buddhist monks visit Arlen looking for a reincarnated person (I forget who exactly), much to the dismay of both Hank and Khan. Then he ends up seeming like he might actually the person they’re looking for, except the visiting monk ultimately decides that he is not the right choice.
If you ascribe to the idea that the Dalaï Llama is/was a cia operative, and a sort of bridge/conduit between the interests of East and West, this sets up quite the “lottery” for where power may shift.
Because his followers are quite far and wide, not just of “race” (and I use that very loosely), it creates a very powerful base that will follow a sort of leader.
Interesting timing, especially since his long time friend the Aga Khan just passed away.
Theres only so many places with concentrations of tibetan buddhists. it wont be India, china, or tibet. That leaves Mongolia or Russia.
My insane prediction:
The next Dalai Lama will be born to the one random Tibetan Buddhist family living in a small town in rural Alabama.
Of course, is I was the Lama, I would throw a curve ball and come back as transgender Nigerian woman, just to mix things up.
unlikely, he clearly said, free world.
I thought he was born in Arlen, TX?

Just wondering, is he gonna have a father that sells propane and a Laotian GF?
Not Alabama, but there is a Lama from Minnesota
That doesn’t rhyme tho.
