(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-07-22 22:23 XIGAZE, Tibet: The 11th Panchen Lama on Wednesday visited Zhaxi Lhunbo Lamasery, the largest of its kind in Xigaze, Tibet.
The 19-year-old paid respects to the memorials of the 5th to 10th Panchen Lamas at the monastery, his residence in Xigaze, and led lamas to offer prayers.
The 11th Panchen Lama arrived in Lhasa, capital of Tibet autonomous region, on July 14 and went to Xigaze on July 19. He was welcomed by tens of thousands of followers. At a meeting with Zhang Qingli, secretary of the Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China, on July 15, he said Lhasa had undergone great changes since his last visit two years ago. Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu was approved by the central government as the reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama in November 1995 after a lot- drawing ceremony among three candidates in the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa. Drawing lots from a golden urn to decide the final choice of the reincarnation of a high lama has long-been a tradition in Tibetan Buddhism. |
