Dalai Lama Apologizes for Asking Boy to Suck His Tongue | E! News

Before commenting understand the culture of country and place, I think it is better to ask people where dalilama come from, tibate is not chaina's
territory so don't ask Chinese. And , for an example not looking after a college going kid,waiting for him to go out of the house is irresponsible parenting for asians but no asian comments about that because that is western way of living, every place and tradition and culture has some way of living before commenting it is better to understand. Don't fall in the trap of chaina's propaganda. It is better protect tibate and free from China, instead of focussing all media go to the tibate and ask people's tradition there , ohh do u have permission to go there I am not sure about that.whole tibate nation is suffering under China, save Tibet who ever is commenting all must go there and see the peoples life help them, before wasting your time here, more over his native language is not English ,Wich is the reason he used the word you think is wrong, does the English has a word for dharma, no there is not, I need to use alternative or close word to dharma , similarly he used the close word . Before judging any person you should know the truth around it, research and comment, judging is devine task use it appropriately

That's not a holy man that's a homosexual hiding behind religion.

TEASES..this is called a preditor... NO JUST NO !!

And dum dums still think NOTHING is going on and it's all coincidence....What will it take for morons to draw line in the sand and take a stand.

What else is he asking young boys to succeed! He is a pedophile! A control monger. Satan's son!

I get the joke about the female. But kissing a child that way is mmm no good

Disgusting 🤢
Nothing was a joke!!!!
He is sick!!!
He should be remove is a lider.
Not a good example for any spiritual lider.

There is nothing " holy" about this man. There is only one who is Holy, and that is Jesus Christ! Who is and Was and Will always be, forever, Amen!

These are perverts using religion 😳😳😳

Sick disgusting grown man pedophile what would’ve been done in private is revolting

Without knowing the whole backstory please don't spread negative things guyss..
if u don't know about the traditions and also about Dalai Lama then please go n research
Saying bad things to our Godfather is very disgraceful
People shouldn't even say a single word if they don't know about the backstory

How much money cnn got from china .

West is too much on sexual . East are not like that should understand better difference of culture.

Stop the hate comments
Watch whole live video and u will regret comments towards him

What has he been doing behind closed doors with children. It’s EVIL.This poor child and probably many others

This is not teasing disgusting evil vile wicked behavior. That poor child

Showing tongue doesn’t mean suck the tongue. This vile man needs to be investigated. I can’t believe people actually laughed. Stop worshipping men as gods!!

Why are you saying “reportedly?” You can literally just pull up the vid.
He’s like Biden—a groomer.

More cringeworthy than Biden kissing and sniffing kids

Your Holiness what you have done is indefensible ! Shows finally step by step the real face of all those high profile religious pervs

an apology is not good enough - he is not holy but a disgusting old man wearing robes

Hahah this guy is so fake.

Eastern cultures don't need approval from the west. We don't sexualize everything like in the west. Please understand that sticking out one's tongue has been a custom of greeting in Tibet since ancient times. Kissing on the lips is very common in the culture. When His Holiness asks - "suck my tongue" he doesn't literally mean it. Grandparents often use the phrase - "Che le sa" which translates to "eat my tongue". When kids are persistent with their want for candies, the Tibetan Grandparents say this. And often times, it is also said in an innocent and playful manner.

Without knowing anything about our culture and without watching the full video of the event, please don't jump to conclusions.

The event was held in February. Why is the video circulating now? Why are so many bot accounts actively engaged online in spreading hate?

The answer is simple - this is led by China and is completely geopolitical.

But in the end no matter how powerful dark forces are, truth always prevails!

You clearly haven't watched the interview of the child and his mother after the event who expressed that they were overjoyed and blessed meeting His Holiness. All the attendees said such positive things. Western people need to educate themselves about diverse cultures. Just by watching a cleverly edited clip and with zero research about the Tibetan culture, you are here to lecture us. Many journalists and media houses have already apologized after they were proven wrong.

Ewe gross unfollowing him

Inappropriateness, though it may have been innocent. We all need discernment, especially in the totally new virtual world.

The boy and his family are perfectly fine, grateful and happy after the opportunity to meet the Dalai Lama. Please watch their interviews from after the incident.
Important to know as well that the mother of the kid was literally a meter away while the boy was with the Dalai Lama.

Also if you are actually open to investigate and learn something, please read this:

Lost in Translation: Eat My Tongue

The Tibetan Phrase “Che La Sa”

A key point missing: In Tibetan culture, it is common to see old grandparents not only give a kiss to small children, but to also give a small candy or piece of food to children from their mouths – directly from mouth to mouth. This may not be the norm of your culture, but this is commonly done.

After the Elder gives a kiss and a candy, since there is nothing left in their mouth, nothing left to give, they will say the phrase, “OK now eat my tongue,” (not suck, his Holiness misspoke due to his less than proficient English).

The Tibetan phrase is, “Che la sa,” They say that as in, “I've given you all my love and the candy so that's it – all that's left to do is, “eat my tongue.” It is a playful thing that the children know. This is not really done in the Lhasa region the capital of Tibet as much, but it is more common in the Amdo region where the Dalai Lama is from. However it is definitely a Tibetan custom.

If we are honest with ourselves, we know that when we form an opinion on any topic, without considering many aspects of the context, in any given situation, we are choosing to keep a significant degree of ignorance in our reasoning.

On Perception


On the whole, we naturally tend to trust our everyday perceptions; we assume their validity without it even occurring to us to question them. We naïvely believe that the way we perceive things is identical with the way things are. And so, because events and things, including the self, appear to have objective reality, we conclude, tacitly and often without any reflection at all, that they do in fact have an objective reality. Only through the process of careful analysis can we see that this is not so, that our perceptions do not accurately reflect objective reality.

The cropped video was spread by Chinese propaganda channels and influencers who saw a perfect opportunity to try to tarnish the image of the Dalai Lama in their constant effort to abolish Tibetan culture and impose their political and cultural occupation. If you truly care about children, please do some research on how Chinese authorities are striping Tibetan families from their kids to send them to Chinese boarding schools were they are brainwashed and not even allowed to learn in Tibetan. You people think you are standing against child predators by condemning and defaming the Dalai Lama who has an impeccable record of not hurting anyone in his 87 years of life and 83 years of spiritual and political leadership of an occupied nation, not even against his oppressors for what he earned a Nobel Peace Prize. Please do some research and see the whole picture, who are hurting the people of Tibet greatly by misrepresenting the Dalai Lama. They have suffered enough!

No need to sorry his holiness , we love u are gif u are god of god, chimes we know, love u his holiness

Some Indians chapre u tuber like aur subscribe ki leye yeh sab Karte hai

Long life his holiness

Long live Dalai Lama! We stand with Dalai Lama.

Mainstream media uses Dalai Lama’s name and image to promote their TRP. They didn’t defend Dalai Lama when the whole world trolled His Holiness. Shame on Biased media.

Sorry it was caught on camera.

Edited video that’s what it is. beyond imagination 🙏

👹👹👹👹👹👹💀💀💀💀💀☠🤬🤬💣💣💣💣💣💣

No le ceeo

To the people that defend him why won't you suck his tongue 🤮🤮🤮🤮

I pray for Dalai Lama! and Wish, Dalai Lama well!

And let’s pray for Dalai Lama to have a better understanding we all make mistakes…. Let us not throw stones when we ourselves even need to reevaluate ourselves … so we pray for a better understanding… for ourselves and for Dalai Lama….!

Living, Long enough …..we all are prone to mistakes you can’t always correct all of them… but we must try…..

“Foolishness is Common”….. “Common Sense” is Not”! …..And we are all subject to it.

1 Timothy 5:1 ►

New International Version
Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,

New Living Translation
Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,

New Living Translation
Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers.

Matthew 25:35

35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

Titus 2:2-3

2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,

The sad reality. We have to be careful who we follow, because people are sadly deceiving. These kind 0f influencer just released apology, thru other people not even directly from them. And they expect to be understood but if it is a regular person it will involve legal actions 😢

Trust me this is an act out of joke. His holiness will be the last person who will ever get serious into such act in real life. Don’t make useless comments.there are some fake lamas, who drink alcohol and fool others but trust me it’s not his holiness.

Protect you children no grown up man has business kissing children in their mouths!

It's still perverted behavior. If anyone, regardless of title, asked a child to "suck his tongue" in front of me, I would've called him out for his pervertedness, and then endured being arrested or worse for knocking some sense into the violator!
Had I been that child with that man gesturing and talking to me like that, I would've felt uncomfortable too.

Apologies are NOT ENOUGH. THIS IS DISGRACEFUL.
