The Dalai Lama issued an apology on social media over a video that showed him kissing a young boy on the lips and then asking him to suck his tongue. “His Holiness wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused,” the Dalai Lama said in a statement on Twitter. It said he “often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way”.
