[dreamz]

how can the dalai lama just "retire"??

isnt he born into the job till death and then await rebirth or something?

I would be surprised if anyone on this forum can make an authoritative reply on the subject. What you will see instead is helpful posts mentioning "sky daddy", "invisible friend", "lacking intellect" and "wars". Good luck.

Maybe he has found a nice little farm to retire to.

He could set up a business... Dalai's Lamas.

I'm imagining that retiring involves less traveling, and less official engagements, rather than a euphemism that he's about to shoot himself.

he's said before that maybe their is no longer a place for a dalai lama and so may choose not to reincarnate or do so outside of tibet.

which all sounds nicely scientific to me.
