Video: Dalai Lama Has Bizarre ‘Suck My Tongue’ Request for Young Boy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, apologized on Monday after a viral video of him inviting a young boy to “suck my tongue” caused surprise and anger across the world. The Dalai Lama’s office insisted the incident was “innocent and playful.”

The incident depicted in the video occurred during a public event in February at a temple in Dharamsala, India, where the Dalai Lama lives in exile. The video evidently dates to February 28, when a group of about 120 students who completed a training program sponsored by the M3M Foundation was visiting the temple.

The 87-year-old Tibetan leader, whose given name is Tenzin Gyatso, was approached by a young boy who asked if he could give him a hug.

The Dalai Lama obliged the request, then asked the boy to kiss first his cheek, then his lips. The Dalai Lama then stuck out his tongue and asked the boy to “suck” on it. The boy responded by sticking out his own tongue.
