Também há uma Igreja Católica Oficial mas não sei se um representante do governo provincial estará presente durante a transubstanciação


«The China Buddhist Association will issue living-Buddha permits. When the reincarnated living Buddha has been installed, the management at his monastery shall submit a training plan to the local Buddhist Association, which shall report to the provincial people's government for approval.

(...)

Once a reincarnated living Buddha soul-child has been recognized, it shall be reported to the provincial people's government for approval; those with a great impact shall be reported to the State Administration of Religious Affairs for approval; those with a particularly great impact shall be reported to the State Council for Approval.
When there is debate over the size of a living Buddha's impact, the China Buddhist Association shall officiate.

(...)

Applicants to be reincarnated living Buddhas may not be reincarnated if the provincial people's government does not allow reincarnations.»
