His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama will wind down his foreign travel for the rest of this year, a spokesperson for the Central Tibetan Administration announced on Thursday, citing age and exhaustion as the reasons for the decision.
“His Holiness is invited to different countries but he has cut down public engagements because of age,” said Central Tibetan Administration spokesperson Sonam Dagpo. “He is exhausted after teaching for a long period of time. Therefore a few commitments have been canceled.”
Dagpo added, “The Dalai Lama’s health is fine,” noting that the 82-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader has made several trips within India, where he has been living in exile in Dharamsala since 1959.
“Usually these engagements—inauguration, ribbon-cutting-type ceremonies—last only for a few hours, but some engagements are for teaching and they last for seven days, which he’s doing less and less of,” Dagpo clarified.
