The Dali Lama retiring must be very emotional for many people. But he is right, the Dali Lama has every right to retire just like any one else. It must be worrisome though when thinking who will take his place as or if any one will be able to take his place. Will China allow another Dali Lama?

I think the Chinese government will allow another Dalai Lama, but I believe they will have a hand in deciding who it will be. One day I would like to see the Dalai Lama in Tibet, not in exile in India. This Dalai Lama does not want freedom for Tibet, just there to be more freedom for its people. I'm wondering if China will ever let Tibet go.
