'Lot in Golden Jar' The identification for the Reincarnation of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama is more formal and laborious. Since the regulation issued in 1793 during the reign of palmary Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), a system called 'Lot in Golden Jar' has been added to finalize the Reincarnation among the candidates to ensure a fair process of identification. The system begins when the four dharma guardians are invited to write the names and birthdays of the candidates on lots in Chinese, Tibetan and Manchu. The lots will be then put into the golden jar vouchsafed by Qianlong. Following a grand ceremony under the charge of high living Buddha Khutuktu and the administrator in Tibet will be held in front of the picture of Sakyamuni in Jokhang Temple. The result will be sent to the emperor by the administrator. Finally the emperor will appoint a minister to preside over the ceremony for the Reincarnation to ascend the bed. In modern China the central government continues to be involved in authorizing the Reincarnation. The Reincarnation of Khutuktu and other high living Buddhas are also generated in this way, some with the ceremony conducted in the Yonghe Lamasery in Beijing.
