CORRECTION (Jan. 8, 2025): At 2:56 in this video we stated that the Panchen Lama is the second holiest figure in Buddhism after the Dalai Lama. A photo of Gyaltsen Norbu was shown. He was appointed by the Chinese government as the 11th Panchen Lama. Norbu is not universally recognized as the Panchan Lama. The Dalai Lama recognizes Gedhun Chiokyi Nyima. The video is trimmed to remove the photo of Norbu.
