Dalai Lama Apologizes for Asking a Boy to Suck His Tongue

Dalai Lama Apologizes for Asking a Boy to Suck His Tongue

The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has apologized after a video showing him asking a boy to suck his tongue went viral on social media, triggering a backlash.

The video shows the 87-year-old Buddhist monk planting a kiss on the boy's lips as the minor leaned in to pay his respects. He then sticks his tongue out and asks the child to suck it.

 "Can you suck my tongue," he is heard asking the young boy.

Reports indicate that the video was taken during an event in McLeod Ganj, a suburb of Dharamshala city in northern India, on February 28th.

"His Holiness wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused," a statement posted on his verified Twitter account said.

"His Holiness often teases the people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras. He regrets the incident."

The Dalai Lama remains the universally recognized face of the movement for Tibetan autonomy.

The global spotlight he enjoyed after winning the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize has dimmed and the deluge of invitations to hobnob with world leaders and Hollywood stars has slowed, partly because the aging leader has cut back on his punishing travel schedule, but also due to China's growing economic and political clout.

Beijing accuses him of wanting to split China, and has referred to him as a "wolf in a monk's robe".

In an interview with BBC in 2019, the Dalai Lama said that if his successor were to be a woman, she would have to be "attractive". He was forced to apologize after his comments attracted heavy criticism.

    Where were the boys parents/guardians when this pervert was busy making his move.It appears that 99% of these so called “holy men” are just perverts since they cannot have a woman they will settle for boys since girls would definitely be frowned upon if not immediate imprisonment.See the Catholic Church to find your brothers from another creator and how they “cope” while still pretending to be “holy”.

    What a disgusting Mzee? You can guess what he does in a closed doors. Never leave your child with the so called priests or let your child sit on father Christmas. Those father Christmas most of them are pedophilia.

    "His Holiness often teases the people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras. He regrets the incident." This is avery poor attempt to do some damage control.Obviously there is abacklash because this went beyond teasing...
    They should just accept that in the moment of weakness the holiness was temporarily "unholy"(hopefully temporary).Happens alot in the Catholic church...and others...
    Wow! you just never know when you will be on these ubiquitous cameras.Moral of the story," Uphold your morals at all times'.

    I find this so disturbing.That's why you idolize NO ONE.Idols always fall+Fail.Do not idol worship earthly heros... Not spiritual leaders, not megachurch pastors, not "royals", not celebrities, not politicians. What he did was weird and this will not be the first time he has asked to do that. That's not normal and certainly not 'entry level' behaviour. SICK SICK SICK!!!

    MAN-MADE "god" versus the CREATOR - MWUMBAJI MKUU:

    MWUMBAJI MKUU hahitaji msaada wowote kutoka kwa binadamu wa kawaida kwenye shughuli zake.

    The CREATOR does not need an ordinary human being in the CREATOR'S affairs. Whether you pray or not, the sun will rise and set. Whether you pray or not, you will die one day.

    The con artists masquerading as priests, bishops, popes, reverends, nuns, fathers, pastors all worship a man-made "god," not the CREATOR. This man-made god endorsed slavery, sexism, and colonialism. Just read the so-called-holy books and you will find "slavery, sexism, and colonialism" being permitted by this man-made god.
