Dalai Lama recognises boy as reincarnated monk
Tibetan leader Dalai Lama has recognised a nine-year-old Darjeeling boy a reincarnation of the spiritual leader Draktse or Bratse Rinpoche. The Dalai Lama's office specifically mentioned the boy Dawa Wangdi and even named his parents in a letter. However, the coronation ceremony was postponed to next year. The former reincarnation, Draktse Thupten Tenpa Gyaltsen Rinpoche, had passed away in 2004.
