I regret ordering a little boy to lick my mouth - the Dalai Lama
The leader of a Buddhist sect in India, the Dalai Lama, has apologized after a video showed him asking a child to stick his tongue out.
The Dalai Lama's office said in a statement that he wanted to apologize to the boy and his family for the consequences of his statement.
The video shows the Dalai Lama kissing the boy on the mouth.
The Dalai Lama's office said, “His Holiness likes to play with the people he meets, even in public and in front of the cameras. He regrets what happened."
The video caused a lot of criticism, where many people on social media said it was inappropriate.
It seems that the incident happened at the Dalai Lama's temple in the city of Dharamshala in India on February 28, when the Dalai Lama met with 120 students who had completed their training.
The foundation that organized the training published the pictures on social media, where in one of the published videos, the Dalai Lama was seen hugging the boy.
Then he offered his cheeks to the boy for a kiss, then kissed him on the lips while holding his hands.
