The Dalai Lama has apologized after a video emerged showing the spiritual leader kissing a child on the lips and then asking him to “suck my tongue” at an event in northern India.
In the video, the young boy can be seen approaching the Nobel Peace Prize winner before asking, “Can I hug you?”
The 87-year-old spiritual leader then invites the boy on stage and points to his cheek and says, “first here,” prompting the boy to give him a hug and a kiss.
The Dalai Lama then points to his lips, and says: “then I think finally here also.” He then pulls the boy’s chin and kisses him on the mouth.
Wow, who would’ve thought that the Dolly llama has so much in common with Catholic priests..And suck my tongue,” he says after a few seconds, poking his tongue out.

His "apology"
my religion is Tibetan Buddhist. He's always been like that -a bit silly and loves to laugh at himself and others“His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras,” the statement said.

It's good natured, not anything else. I recently heard he's deciding whether to reincarnate, suppose to decide soon
No one gives a shite, he's shown that he shouldn't be around children.On his part, the Dalai Lama has outrightly rejected any authority the Chinese claim to have regarding his and other other lamas’ reincarnation. “The person who reincarnates has sole legitimate authority over where and how he or she takes rebirth and how that reincarnation is to be recognised,” declared the Dalai Lama. He adds, “It is particularly inappropriate for Chinese communists … to meddle in the system of reincarnation and especially the reincarnations of the Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas.”The question of the Dalai Lama’s succession: what tradition says and Chinese interference
While the tradition of succession by reincarnation has prevailed in Tibetan Buddhism for centuries, China’s occupation of Tibet and subsequent attempt to control Tibetans has thrown up major questions. The recent recognition of the Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa has brought these back to the forefront.indianexpress.com
But, while the Dalai Lama, currently 87, claims he will live till the ripe age of 113 and have enough time to decide upon his reincarnation, his old age and shaky health concern many Tibetans. “If His Holiness leaves this world without certainty about what comes next, there will be trouble”, a devotee told NPR.
The potential for confusion is aggravated by the fact that the Panchen Lama – traditionally the second most important figure in the Gelug tradition, responsible for naming and grooming the next Dalai Lama – chosen by the 14th Dalai Lama remains ‘missing’ since he was kidnapped by Chinese authorities in 1995. Gedhun Choekyi Nyima was only 6 at the time of his abduction and has never been seen since.
Chinese authorities selected their own Panchen Lama, a six-year-old boy named Gyaincain Norbu, in 1995. Today, he is the vice-president of the Buddhist Association of China and seen in monasteries across Tibet, spreading pro-China messages.
What next?
The question of the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation is set to linger on for the foreseeable future. The Dalai Lama himself has not provided a definitive answer regarding what will happen. At different times, he has dodged the question with his disarming smile, claimed that there is ample time to make the decision, and even suggested that there may be no Dalai Lama after him.
