Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has recognised an 8-year-old US-born Mongolian boy as one of the highest spiritual leaders in Buddhism.
He has been named as the 10th Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche, the third most important leader in Tibetan Buddhism.
The anointment of the Mongolian boy as 10th Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche earlier this month follows a visit of the Dalai Lama to Mongolia in 2016, where he announced that a new incarnation of the Jetsun Dhampa had been born and that the search was on to find him.
In 1995, the Dalai Lama had named a new Panchen Lama, the second most important figure in the faith.
