[Buddha-l] Re: Panchen Lama

[jkirk]

Please explain why this question interests you---what is its point? 

You must know that there are millions of communists and ex-communists in China today--which ones do you refer to? Government functionaries? ordinary people in Chengdu, for example? 
Or are you trying to figure out why they picked a different (their own selection) Panchen Lama and why they are promoting him? If that is your concern, I can assure you that the official promotion of this Panchen Lama is purely political and does not necessarily signify that they "believe" in rebirth.     
Best wishes,
Joanna

  Hi,

  Let me rephrase my question. I thought I was understood. Do Communist hina believe in rebirth like Tibetan Buddhist do?

  Best wishes,
  Rahula
