The Dalai Lama is not only the spiritual leader of approximately 360 million lay people, but also an important political figure.
The 14th Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, arrived in New York on Sunday to undergo treatment for his knees. Reuters wrote this on Sunday, June 23.
He was greeted by hundreds of admirers and admirers. The 88-year-old Dalai Lama waved to them from the open window of a limousine that pulled up at his Manhattan hotel.
The Dalai Lama’s previous visit to the United States took place in 2017.
It is unclear whether he will meet with any American officials during his current trip.
Last week, a group of US lawmakers met with the Dalai Lama in India and said they would not allow China to influence the choice of his successor. They want to force Beijing to resume negotiations with Tibetan leaders that broke off in 2010.
It is known that in 1959 the Dalai Lama was forced to leave Tibet and go to India after an unsuccessful revolt against Chinese influence in Tibet.
In 1987 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Let’s remember that the spiritual leader of the followers of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama XIV, said that there should be more women leaders in the world.
Earlier, the Tibetan leader spoke live with Ukrainians for the first time. The 14th Dalai Lama emphasized that Ukrainians have a common language and culture, so it remains to realize universal freedom.
