A video of the spiritual leader of Tibet, Mr Dalai Llamahas caused international outrage as she is seen kissing a young Indian boy on the mouth and then asking him to ‘suck his tongue’.

In the video, the Dalai Lama is seen leading a ceremony, surrounded by other people sitting next to him. A boy dressed in a yellow sweatshirt then appears waiting at the bottom of the stage, while a woman beckons him to come closer.

When the child approaches the Dalai Lama, he shows him his right cheek for the child to kiss. The child, visibly moved, kisses and hugs him. Then the leader turns and they are face to face and with his fingers he points to his mouth, inviting him to give him a kiss. Oh and it happened… Immediately afterwards the Dalai Lama asks the little boy to “suck his tongue” and the child does!

The international media “blasted” the spiritual leader of Tibet, while the social media “condemned” this action. The video showing the Dalai Lama giving a kiss to a child caused outrage, however, the news was only shared through social media, so it was not possible to verify the authenticity of the images.
