Yesterday the internet was shocked when it saw the video in which the Dalai Lama kisses a little 12-year-old boy and asks him to "suck his tongue". The network immediately reacted and the spiritual leader's office apologized for the action, but people recalled some of the Dalai Lama's most controversial events, which you can find below:
In 2015 , he said that a woman Dalai Lama would not be useful.
Then, 4 years later , in an interview with the BBC, the spiritual leader said that any woman who will follow him must be more attractive. He underlined that if the woman is reincarnated (or comes another version of him as a woman), she should be "more attractive".
"If a woman Dalai Lama comes, then she should be more attractive. Otherwise, people may not see it in the face," he said.
The Dalai Lama has sparked a debate about a statement about former president Donald Trump in which he said that Trump "lacks moral principle".
Dalai went on to say that Donald Trump's emotions were a bit complicated and criticized his party's slogan "America First". The slogan was later misinterpreted as "America Alone", implying that the country was lonely). Dalai said the slogan was wrong and that America must take global responsibility.
Another issue that has sparked debate is that of immigration . Dalai has commented on immigration to Europe and suggested that the European continent should educate and train immigrants, with the sole aim of them returning to their homes.
The 83-year-old said: "European countries should receive these refugees and give them education and training. The purpose of this is to return to their land, with certain skills".
Dalai u shpreh edhe se Europa u takon europianëve dhe menjëherë, u ndez debati. Zyra, sigurisht, reagoi duke thënë se deklaratat e tij mund të jenë keqinterpretuar.
Në shtator të vitit 2018, rreth çështjes së refugjatëve, Dalai Lama u shpreh se vendet europiane u kanë dhënë ndihmë refugjatëve, megjithatë ai mendonte se shumica e refugjatëve mendonin për tokat e tyre, por duke marrë parasysh numrin e lartë të vrasjeve apo edhe vuajtjeve, ata u arratisën.
“Pra, në një afat të shkurtër kohor, vendet europiane duhet t’u ofrojnë atyre strehim dhe veçanërisht fëmijëve, t’u mundësojnë lehtësira për edukim dhe trajnim”, tha Dalai, duke theksuar se e gjitha kjo duhet të ndodhë përkohësisht.
Dje, rasti i fundit që skandalizoi njerëzit ishte një video, e xhiruar në muajin shkurt, gjatë një eventi në Indi, në qytetin Dharamshala, por është bërë virale dje. Shumë njerëz në rrjetet sociale kanë reaguar për veprimin e çuditshëm.
Zyra e Dalai Lama-s, në një deklaratë, tha: “Dalai Lama do t’i kërkojë falje familjes së djalit, si dhe miqve të tij në mbarë botën për lëndimin që fjalët e tij mund të kenë shkaktuar”.
Gjithashtu, shtuan se 87-vjeçari është penduar për veprimet e tij, duke u shprehur se “ai i ngacmon njerëzit që takon në një mënyrë të pafajshme dhe lozonjare, edhe në publik dhe para kamerave”.
At the beginning of the video, a small boy around 10-11 years old is seen, who is directed towards the Nobel Prize winner. The boy asks if he can hug him and Dalai invites him on stage, pointing a finger to his cheek and telling the boy to kiss him on the cheek.
Then, he points his finger to his lips and tells the boy to kiss him on the lips too. Later, he pulls the boy and kisses him. After the kiss, Lama sticks out her tongue and tells the boy to "suck her tongue". The identity of the toddler remains anonymous.
People on Twitter have called the act despicable and one called the Dalai Lama a "pedophile".
