The reason why the practice of reincarnation of living Buddhas has been recognized by the religious community and society is inseparable from the management and care of the central government.
Therefore, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas take it as their responsibility to save all sentient beings, which is also the "equal original wish" of the Buddha and Bodhisattva.
The conferment of titles on great living Buddhas is not only a conferment system, but also a management system. It not only reflects the care and attention of the central government to influential great living Buddhas, but also gives the reincarnation system of living Buddhas legal significance.
In terms of differences, one of the biggest is the infrastructure. We in the West, particularly in the US, are still led to believe that Xizang is a very simple, rural place and there's not much infrastructure there.
