Dalai Lama relinquishes political powers
The Dalai Lama has formally relinquished his political and administrative powers, a spokesperson said Tuesday.
The Dalai Lama said Thursday that he will give up his political role in the Tibetan government-in-exile and shift some power to an elected representative, as the 76-year-old Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader struggles with growing worries about who will succeed him when he dies.
