Volgens de regering van de Tibetaanse Autonome Regio is Gyancain Norbu de 11e pänchen lama.
The Dalai Lama has, on Apr 25, confirmed what Chinese leaders have been saying, most recently in 2014, that the 11th Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima recognized by him in 1995, is alive and pursuing normal education. Following the death of the 10th Panchen Lama in 1989, the search for an individual to be recognised as his reincarnation, by Tibetan Buddhists, quickly became mired in bureaucracy and controversy. What the China-disappeared 11th Panchen Lama might look like today.
They said that his parents did not want international figures and the media intruding into his life. Human Rights organizations claim that he and his family continue to be political prisoners, and has termed him the "youngest political prisoner in the world". “He has been put under the protection of the government at the request of his parents,” China’s Ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Wu Jianmin, told UN experts who asked China on Tuesday 28 May to allow a UN representative to visit Gendun Choekyi Nyima. According to Isabel Hilton [B1], in 1995 the Dalai Lama received a packaged smuggled from Tibet to his residence in Dharamsala and containing a list of boys the Tibetan search committee had under consideration as the 11th incarnation of the Panchen Lama. De controverse over de erkenning van de elfde pänchen lama wordt ook wel pänchen lama-controverse genoemd. [W7]. Toen de dalai lama aankondigde dat Gendun Chögyi Nyima was aangewezen, werd Chadrel Rinpoche gearresteerd en vervangen door Sengchen Lobsang Gyaltsen, hetgeen vreemd was, want Sengchen was een politieke tegenstander van de vorige pänchen lama. The allegation that he disappeared together with his parents and that his whereabouts remain unknown is simply not true." Note: Gedhun Choekyi Nyima was born on April 25, which explains why numerous articles and online posts were (and still are) published around that particular date. It was commissioned by the International Tibet Network’s Political Prisoners Campaign Working Group for a film titled “Where is Panchen Lama?” [A99]. His eyes, widely spaced, betrayed nothing of whatever emotions he felt as that photograph was taken.”. He seemed to be sitting in one of those large, heavy brown-leather armchairs that used to be universal official furniture in China. To the Chinese government, which has occupied Tibet since invading it in 1950, the young Panchen Lama was a potential threat to their rule. “The Chinese ambassador said the boy, who has not been seen in public for more than a year, was in good condition and was living with his parents,” the official Chinese news agency reported in its account of the meeting in Geneva. We have to respect their wishes, so that’s why we don’t arrange visits with the young man. Chinese officials parroted their assertion that Nyima was “safe and comfortable and wishes to maintain his privacy,” said the Canadian, who requested anonymity. He likes Chinese traditional culture and has recently taken up calligraphy. Besides further search records, there were also more than twenty photographs, including that of Nyima. According to Hao Peng, a deputy party secretary and vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region: “We know that he is studying now and living in quite good conditions,” he said. [16] Those who support Nyima as the 11th Panchen Lama call upon China's ruling party to prove that he is safe and happy. To this day, no foreign party has ever been allowed to visit him.
The only official record of a Chinese response to an inquiry regarding Gendhun’s whereabouts is a document created by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, dated May 31, 1996 [M1]. Volgens de Chinese regering zit hij gewoon op school en wordt zijn locatie uit privacyoverwegingen niet vrijgegeven.
[M1]. [9] After the Dalai Lama named Gedhun Choekyi Nyima as the 11th incarnation of the Panchen Lama, Chinese authorities had Chadrel Rinpoche arrested and charged with treason. Following the death of the 10th Panchen Lama in 1989, the search for an individual to be recognised as his reincarnation, by Tibetan Buddhists, quickly became mired in bureaucracy and controversy. For example, the Tibetan Review post (What the China-disappeared 11th Panchen Lama might look like today), referencing the rendering, was published on April 26, 2019. He stared at the camera, his head slightly tilted back, his lips parted.
[A65], “As far as I know, his family and he are now living a very good life in Tibet… he and his family are reluctant to be disturbed… and they want to live an ordinary life,” Padma Choling, chairman of the Tibet autonomous regional government, told media at the National People’s Congress meet in Beijing. There was no means to positively identify the child, the photos merely showed a boy of approximately the correct age. Note: The use of the term “11th reincarnation” is wrong within this context. Photo: ITN via Tibetan Review. His parents and entire family are happy.” … “He is 1.6 meters (5 ft 3 in) tall and weighs 65 kilos (144 pounds).” [A18], In October 2000, during a round of the UK-PRC bilateral human rights dialogue in London, British officials raised the issue of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima.
However, the picture is a crude fabrication as the boy’s face was copied from the only existing photograph. Who will identify the next incarnation of the Dalai Lama? Some people in Tibet felt that their religious freedom was not being respected.
[10] Sengchen had been a political opponent of both the Dalai Lama and the 10th Panchen Lama.[11]. Chinese authorities announced Gyancain Norbu as the search committee's choice on November 11, 1995.
He was cited as having commented that there were instances in Tibetan Buddhist tradition where a reincarnate lama appeared as more than one person.
Chadrel Rinpoche, het hoofd van de zoektocht had in het geheim contact met de dalai lama. Panchen Lama’s mother seem to have sadly expressed that she is the most unfortunate mother who has to live in constant fear and worry not knowing if her son is still alive or not.” [A16], Note: A similar reference was made in another article on phayul.com published on the same date. He is currently in upper secondary school, he measures 165 cm in height and is easy-going by nature.
With regard to reports concerning the controversy surrounding recognition of the Panchen Lama, he said that the Tenth Panchen Lama had passed away on 28 January 1989. Mrs. Santos Pais echoed the concerns expressed by Mr. Hammarberg on the fate of the Panchen Lama. The 11th Panchen Lama, “according to reliable source, is alive and carrying normal education,” he was quoted as saying, speaking to reporters on his return from New Delhi at Gaggal Airport.
