Episode 19 of the podcast – Reincarnation Permits

By • • Podcast, Show Notes

So, we have another week and another episode. This one is called Reincarnation Permits and references topic number 21. China bans reincarnation without a permit. Obviously an attempt to silence the issues in Tibet by taking control over who becomes the next Dalai Lama and will likely create a situation where there are two opposing Dalai Lamas in the future, one under Chinese government control. This is assuming the current holiness doesn’t decide there can be no new Dalai Lamas, a pronouncement he is apparently able to make. So this is all very interesting and deeply political maneuvers, but the premise itself is hilarious.

We also streamed this episode live for the first time and will start doing that every week. We had fun with the live feedback (sort of). Cheers. As usual we didn’t get to cover everything. The full topic list after the jump, and you can listen to the latest episode in your feed or here.
