    My insane prediction:

    The next Dalai Lama will be born to the one random Tibetan Buddhist family living in a small town in rural Alabama.

    Of course, is I was the Lama, I would throw a curve ball and come back as transgender Nigerian woman, just to mix things up.

      If you ascribe to the idea that the Dalaï Llama is/was a cia operative, and a sort of bridge/conduit between the interests of East and West, this sets up quite the “lottery” for where power may shift.

      Because his followers are quite far and wide, not just of “race” (and I use that very loosely), it creates a very powerful base that will follow a sort of leader.

      Interesting timing, especially since his long time friend the Aga Khan just passed away.
