Reincarnation of living Buddha needs approval

All the reincarnations of living Buddhas of Tibetan Buddhism must get government approval, otherwise they are "illegal or invalid," China's State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA) said in Beijing Friday.

This has got to be one of the strangest church/state stories I've seen. Imagine people filling out forms for permission to be reincarnated.
