The Dalai Lama, the world’s most revered Tibetan spiritual leader,
apologized on Monday to the youngster and his family, and to his
many friends throughout the world, for any harm his actions may have
caused.
“His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful
way, even in public and before cameras. He regrets the incident,”

A video clip has gone viral of a recent encounter in which the small kid
requested the Dalai Lama “whether he may give him a hug.”

social disparity. Whether one is a socialist or not, one must think for
the greater good of humanity,” When addressing online earlier at the
Fair Sharing for Children Conference, the Dalai Lama was cited as
