A controversial kiss that the highest spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) gave a child has caused a stir and outrage on social networks, because this display of affection was on the lips and is seen as the Dalai Lama asks him to suck his tongue.
The video was published on the Central Tibetan account where they explain that the spiritual leader “His Holiness the Dalai Lama advised a young Indian man to be a good human being, and always work to cultivate peace and happiness in the world.”
This video was made at the end of February, and the main comments it has generated are against his actions, since they affirm that his power figure causes intimidation in the child and that it could be clear child abuse. “If this is done in public, what is expected in private,” commented one user.
