YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the Himalayan hill town of Dharamshala in northern India, Tibetans in exile are preparing to celebrate the 90th birthday of the Dalai Lama. The 14th reincarnation of Tibet's spiritual leader is one of the world's most influential figures and a Nobel peace laureate. But with his advancing age the question of succession looms large, and will be politically charged far beyond the Tibetan community.

So, how was the current Dalai Lama chosen?
