Dalai Lama Apologizes After Asking Little one to ‘Suck My Tongue’ On Digital camera

The Dalai Lama, in all his knowledge, is rolling out a much-needed apology … after getting dragged on-line for bizarrely asking a baby to suck his tongue at a latest occasion.

That is proper, the spiritual chief is saying sorry after his problematic request on the metropolis of Dharamshala in February, together with his workplace issuing a press release saying he is apologizing “to the boy and his household, in addition to his many mates the world over, for the harm his phrases could have precipitated.” Phrases, not actions, BTW.

His individuals say DL “teases individuals he meets in an harmless and playful manner, even in public and earlier than cameras” … however many on-line have known as BS on any playfulness occurring right here.

The entire thing was caught on video — the boy kindly asks if he can hug the 87-year-old, but it surely shortly turns into an uncomfortable watch. The Dalai follows it up with a kiss on the lips — which you’d assume is as dangerous because it might get … that’s till he asks the boy to “suck my tongue.”

This is not the primary time the Nobel Peace Prize winner has confronted controversy — he apologized again in 2019 after speaking about the potential of a feminine Dalai Lama succeeding him … saying she “ought to be extra enticing.”
