Report Summary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This report shows how the Buddhist Association of China (BAC), a supposedly non-political organization, is becoming a key instrument in the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s strategy to assimilate and transform Tibetan Buddhism – particularly in relation to the search for and recognition of reincarnate lamas. The BAC has a special Tibetan Buddhism Working Committee which oversees the implementation of CCP directives in Tibetan monasteries.

Released on 29 May 2024, the report notes that the BAC charter was changed to make their political agenda more prominent. It also includes a partial list of Tibetan lamas who hold leadership positions at both the national and provincial levels of the BAC, who can be assumed to be among those who are being involved either directly or indirectly by the Chinese government on matters relating to Tibetan Buddhism, including in the search process for reincarnations at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
