00:00The Dalai Lama is set to address a three-day gathering of religious leaders this week ahead of his 90th birthday.
00:08The spiritual leader is expected to share details of his succession in a move that could provoke China.
00:17Beijing views the Dalai Lama as a separatist and has insisted it will appoint his successor.
00:22The 14th Dalai Lama had fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.
00:30He has since said his successor would be born outside of China, urging followers to reject any candidate selected by Beijing.
00:37As he turns 90 this Sunday, the Dalai Lama announced he would consult senior monks and share insights on where his successor may be found after his passing.
00:47He has previously suggested that his reincarnation could take place in India, where he has lived in exile near the northern town of Dharamsala.
