Dalai Lama says he will not be reincarnated, further stoking China's fury
shanghaiist.com
The Dalai Lama continues to vocally share his belief that he will not be reincarnated so long as Tibet is under Chinese rule, most recently with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. He also told the newspaper, "We had a Dalai Lama for almost five centuries. The fourteenth Dalai Lama is very popular. Let us then finish with a popular Dalai Lama."

Never forget the victims and their families.
