Tibet’s ‘living Buddhas’ have been told that they may not reincarnate without permission from China’s atheist leadership. Whatever your belief, this goes dramatically against Article 36 of the Consitutition of the People’s Republic of China, which stipulates that ‘all citizens enjoy freedom in religious belief; no State organ, social organisation or individual is allowed to force any citizen to believe or not to believe in any religion…no State organ, social organisation or individual is allowed to force any citizen to believe or not to believe in any religion; nor discriminate against any citizen with or with no religious belief; the State protects normal religious activities’
