| Just when you think you have heard it all, along comes a story like this! China tells living Buddhas to obtain permission before they reincarnateJane Macartney in Beijing - Quote :
- Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission from China’s atheist leaders. The ban is included in new rules intended to assert Beijing’s authority over Tibet’s restive and deeply Buddhist people.
“The so-called reincarnated living Buddha without government approval is illegal and invalid,” according to the order, which comes into effect on September 1. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article2194682.ece | |

| Hmmm... I didn't know China had the supernatural ability to block a religion from reincarnating without permission. | |

That's because China likes to control everything. | |

That's because China likes to control everything. And that tells me I should not move to China if I want to freely practice religion. | |
