Bodhisattvas

A scandalous video (watch below) has cast a shadow over the Dalai Lama. Footage showing the 87-year-old Dalai Lama kissing a boy who bends down to pay his respects has gone viral on social media.

The Buddhist monk then sticks out his tongue and invites the child to suck it. The video is from an event on February 28 in McLeod Ganj, a suburb of the northern Indian city of Dharamsala.

He does not like the fact that the American president only thinks about America and nothing else, writes NOVA TV. 

 Dalai Lama has publicly explained why he recently criticized US President Donald Trump. He did so at the opening of a conference of philosophers and educators from dozens of countries, including Russia and the United States.

Democracy is the best form of government, says the spiritual leader, quoted by NOVA TV. 

Russia must join the European Union to strengthen the peace of the planet, Dalai Lama said in an exclusive interview with RIA Novosti, quoted by BGNES.

I periodically say that Russia must join the European Union, said Dalai Lama.

Dalai Lama was hospitalized in the Indian capital due to a lung infection, but now he feels better, said his spokesman, quoted by Associated Press.

Eighty-three-year-old spiritual leader of Tibet is admitted to treatment and is likely to spend a day or two in a hospital, spokesman Tenjin Takhla said.

He already has millions of Twitter followers and has spoken of the wonders of new technology. Now the Dalai Lama has launched a new iPhone app so devotees can keep track of his travels and teachings.

The Dalai Lama says he dreams about NATO headquarters being relocated to Moscow, as this would bring Russian and US citizens closer.

In the Global Peace Index for 2017, the country is placed in the 28th place, with nearly 90 positions before the United States, Deutsche Welle said.

The Global Peace Index is produced annually by a group of international organizations and experts coordinated by Sydney University and the British Economist Magazine.

A CNN anchorman asked the Dalai Lama what he thought of Donald Trump and if they have met, on the TV show “Good Morning Britain.” His Holiness’ response was priceless.
