The head of Tibet’s government-in-exile has called the spiritual leader’s actions “innocent” after the clip sparked mass outrage around the globe.
A top Tibetan leader has defended The Dalai Lama after a video emerged on social media that showed him asking a child to suck his tongue.
But despite the waves of criticism surrounding the video, Tsering believes it shows The Dalai Lama’s “affectionate behavior,”“His holiness has always lived in sanctity, a Buddhist monk, including celibacy. His years of spiritual practice have gone beyond sensorial pleasures,” Tsering told reporters Thursday. “His holiness is now being labeled all kinds of names.”He claimed that “pro-Chinese sources” ensured the video would go viral on social media, without giving evidence.
