In this in-depth conversation, noted Tibetologist Jampa Samten la delves into one of the most profound and pressing issues of our time: The Yangsi Tradition—The Reincarnation System in Tibetan Buddhism.

We’ll explore:

✨ What reincarnation really means in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition

✨ How the Yangsi system evolved through history

✨ Why it's so central to Tibetan society and our spiritual-political identity

✨ The political implications surrounding the next reincarnation of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

✨ And the growing concern over China’s attempt to interfere in this sacred process

We’re deeply honoured to be joined by none other than Jampa Samten la, a renowned historian and Tibetologist, whose insights bring depth and clarity to this timely and vital conversation.

In a time when the question of reincarnation is no longer just spiritual but also deeply political, it is crucial that we engage, understand, and strategise our path forward—with awareness, rootedness, and vision.

We hope this episode sparks reflection and dialogue—whether you’re listening from exile, inside Tibet, or anywhere around the world.
