To the dismay of the Chinese government, the 14th Dalai Lama says he’s looking forward to living another “15, 20 years,” according to the Central Tibetan Administration. The 83-year-old Tibetan Buddhist leader made the remark in Dharamshala this week during a teleconference with Australian Buddhists. “I often ask people . . . what they think of my age. They make a guess around 70. Then I tell them that I am in 80s . . . They say I look very young,” he said, adding that his teeth and voice are both still strong. There is a history of Buddhist teachers predicting their own death.
In Tibetan Buddhism and medicine, practitioners are taught to pay attention to the omens of death.
