[Buddha-l] Panchen Lama

[JKirkpatrick]

He has already been made a mouthpiece for the Chinese government
so far as religious affairs go. 
I can't imagine that, although he may get more religious training
somewhere in Tibet, he would stop being a mouthpiece. How could
he, unless he fled to exile as well?
