    From what i gather, he is steeping down as the protest leader. he cannot step down as the spiritual leader. he is the only reincarnation of the previous dalai lama. it's not like they pic a random kid off of the street to fill the position and that anyone can do it.

    Wow... This is a huge change. I agree with Sabrina though, I'm not sure how someone can take his place. I run a computer repair store in Salt Lake City. The area is mostly Mormon, but we do have a buddist temple. I've always wanted to visit and learn more.
