The purpose of the text is to present and discuss the possible reasons which induced the Qianlong Emperor to invite the 6th Panchen Lama Palden Yeshe to visit China, in light of the possible factors which influenced the acceptance by the latter of the invitation to visit the Man-chu court. The article constitutes an analysis and a comparison of the concepts presented in scholarly articles devoted to Tibetan-Manchu relations in the middle of the 18th century. The context for the subject under discussion is furnished by the representation of the question of the mutual relations of politics and religion.

The interview with Venerable Geshe Lhakdor, the director of LTWA
(Library of Tibetan Works and Archives) is the result of the fieldwork
on tulkus which I have been carrying out since January of 2018 in India.
It forms part of a PhD project, focusing on the question of how the
institution of tulku (sprul sku), which is one of the main characteristics
of Tibetan Buddhism, is perceived by Tibetans in exile, in the context
of the controversy with the double choosing of the Panchen Lamas.
In the paper the interview will be presented with the preceding
historical and methodological introduction and then summarized in
the commentary.
