The way I read it, he's using "reincarnation" to mean "successor". That is, I don't get the feeling that he's using the word to mean anything philosophical.

That was my overriding feeling too. It's a massive political problem for the exiled Tibetans.

The bit about his next reincarnation possibly having already been born doesn't contradict my understanding of anatta or rebirth, either. If I could type normally, I'd explain what I mean by that. Sorry. I would very much like to hear your take on it FBM. I can't work that out at all.
