- Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetans, has sparked a massive controversy after a video went viral. In the video, Dalai Lama can be seen kissing a boy at a public event and is also heard telling the boy - "suck my tongue".
The Dalai Lama has now apologized after the video created global outrage. In a statement, the office for the Dalai Lama said he “wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused,” adding he “regrets” the incident.
“His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras,” the statement said.
The incident reportedly took place during an event in the hillside city of Dharamshala in February.
Will the apology of the 87-year-old spiritual leader be sufficient?

Why Bharkha did not ask the parents of the child what they felt and what he felt?
Ofcourse not because she is SoldOut.
Absolutely.
How does it matter? A child’s consent or happiness or delight over someone’s “touch” is invalid.
Her dad died due to a virus spread by China, just as how painful it was to us because of outrages spread by China. CCP is laughing at us because we are fighting among ourselves instead of fighting against one (China)
Because then their TRP wouldn’t go up as the parents will obviously speak in favour of His Holiness... News like these should stop being sold #istandwithdalailama
In india, two men holding each other’s hand is normal and there is nothing sexual about it but in the west this is seen as gay relationships n it is not normal in western culture. What is your say on that barkha??? How appropriate is to paint everything with western template???
Barkha ji, at least you should have play the full video instead of edited one. so that your audience can judge without any biased. i didn't expect from you that you will make a full show without even watching full video and understand the cultural context behind it. Please do your research before just making a show on a viral clip.
I too did not expect this from Barkha ji.
U guys still do not know well about his holiness the dalai lama ji which is sad.
His holiness is now 87yrs old and english is not his mother tongue.😔😔😔
Plz dont misunderstand our Guru🙏
Hopefully you guys will realise one day and regret .
I am just speechless and deeply saddened what u guys showing on social media without going through the whole vedio .😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Modi should Kick him out of India. Send him back to china
Barkha is now looking for the content now no more barkha who stood up against right work....
Completely agree. This is shameful from a seasoned Journalist like her.
@lobsang dhoiden Get well soon brother 🙏🙏🙏🌸
Full video clip needs to be watched. Discretion required as the event is being live on cameras, publicly.
Yes sir absolutely 🙏🙏🙏
His holiness is not apologizing for wrong doing cause nothing is done wrong. Did anybody sucked a tongue in video? Did the kid forcefully made to suck the tongue? No record of child molestation on his history. One day one video clip makes him child molester. His apologizing to the people that got hurt by the way of him acting to the kid.
These panelists beside tenzin tsuntue. They talking from their professional view point and not from human to human. That’s why they come to conclusions as child molester.
We all know why Barkha ji is spreading misinformation
Where is the full video?
My view is that the Dalai Lama who is right now at age 87 isn't living at a mental age that cannot understand the sexualization of human interaction, as we in a highly decultured, urbanized and increasingly individualistic world, are seeing and hearing and even actively nurturing.
Lol I've heard a few different excuses/rationalizing but this one is the most absurd. The guy is THE holy one, he has more awareness, wisdom and intellect than any other time in his life, so excusing this as a "getting old" issue is ridiculous.
I think the whole thing is being taken out of context. Its very clear there's no sexual intent on the part of the Dalai Lama. And his track record so far has been impeccable. We are unnecessarily blowing it out of proportion and traumatising the child even more.
So if someone ends up harassing your daughter, you won't talk about it given the fact that it will traumatize her even more.
What else he must have done behind the cameras? This guy shouldn't roam free.
Thank you sir you are literate person please I humbly request you to go in ted kunchok channel there u can see whole clip u can deep understand the intension .thank u
@@rohitshukla6244 are you crazy?
@Karma Jangchup dolma rohit is right by what is being said as long as I'm being playful I could ask your child to "suck my tongue" and as long as I've never done such a thing before (how would you know btw??) it would be okay.... are you crazy sir. The child will have to live with this his entire life.
Stop supporting paedophiles, sickos. This is grooming
Like ants for sugar, all the righteous have come out of the woodwork to condemn the Dalai Lama. Do these very same people feel equally horrified at the reportedly never ending sexual exploitation and torture of young girls on a daily basis at G B Road and other red light areas in India? All children should be treated equal so why is our conscience so selective?
They r just doing for T.R.P n to gain Stardom......
'We will have to see what child is feeling' - these pepole have made big thing out this pure and pious moment that the child was sharing with someone whom he looks up to. Barkhaji is no less than politicians! Good job lady
See full video and talk , this video is blower and this is not a secret place ,or secret room ,boy mother is there, students are there, he just play like grandson, you people think negative think
Have unsubscribed. V sad to see this sort of reporting. You did not show the entire clip.
For the child, what some of the panelists had said would disturb him more than what the Dalai Lama did. Very simple.
Absolutely true
Totally, they are harrassing the child now!
It is no abuse. The apologies is taken due to wrong interpretation of the media and its runner hosts. Media run the show and made money on portraying in wrong light of the innocent open in public show of love by holy person of different faith.
👍👍🙏 Buddhism teaches let others win in order make other happy even if it is not your mistake.
Chinese must me very proud of Barkha dutt by now. The way she too technically assume and judge the act of HH from her dirty point of view 😢😢😢
The panel composition is heavily imbalanced to accommodate a fair discussion and diverse opinions. Instead of moderating the talk, Barkha leaned toward one side of the discussion right from the start. She is not playing the role of the moderator professionally and fairly. Her constant chiming in her opinion, rebutting/gagging Tenzin midway, and supporting the rest of the panelists' "opinions" throws off the balance of the discussion. This clearly contravenes the standards of journalism and committing a media crime. Well, what can you expect from some random Mojo channel?
Barkha, you can’t play both roles at once. Also, it was unclear how the so-called "poll" was collected and how many participated. Merely showing a fancy poll chart is not sufficient. Highly unprofessional and biased host and misrepresentation of facts. You either be a host or a panelist or maybe go back to your old job of reporting from the streets, screaming at the top of your lungs! You were good at doing that!
"How do you know children dont love rape." Tweeted a comedian once and Barkha used to hang out with him and have fun with him on twitter after that tweet. Hypocrisy has no limits
Barkha Dutt, recently in UP minor girl is raped in Bihar and rapist put sand in her private parts. Another minor girl raped in Ladhak and left her their to die. Where is those child right activists sleeping. Why Indian media not make it national issue as like this ?
To begin with I understand video is blurred for child's privacy but there wasn't infact any contact between tongues in the real unsensored video. Its misleading when no one in this forum spoke about it.
If his intention was to sexually abuse he will not do it in full glare of cameras and public. Let us not exaggerate the impact on the boy
If Dalai Lama had any sexual intent he would never have done this in full public view. Stop blowing it up out of proportions.
WoW....what a logic sir Jee
What intent do you see apart from being a sexual one?
Jeebh se chat ke mcchr bhaga rhe the kya?
Then why creepy Joe does it all still on camera ?
He probably could have done it public view probably cos he knows he is much loved and respected and hence nothing can touch him.
So who knows what is happening behind closed doors!
What crap ! He seems to be a repressed pedophile. God knows what he would have been if he had been an ordinary man without any title.
Hey Barkha. Firstly, i would like to ask you a personal question, not related to this topic. i want to ask you, have you ever been misunderstood in your life? atleast once or many times? if you ask me I have been , I have been judged many many times people without knowing my personal struggle a d background they have judged me. Likewise, I have heard you are paid media, i have seen and people commenting rubbish about you, your own Indian people, they say you are not a respectable journalist anymore. And now coming to the topic of this matter and in the interview here you mentioned with rhe panelists that you yourself had a huge respect towards His Holiness and now after this video clip your respect towards him is questionable . Ok I understand you and rest of the world who are non tibetans to react in such a way, bcuz i agree the pedophiles do exist. Similarly, if you ask me whether i jumped to the conclusion and beleived whther i believed people who comment you a d think you are not anymore a respectable journalist and you are a paid media, I did not. I am neutral, even though m less educated than you i never judged you, bcuz you are my lady hero who covered the kargil war. so, i didnt folowee the sheep i have my own mind to sit and think and reflect, unlike you who did not give a second thought to just jumped bandwagon. Likewise, i lost this trust towards you today. Same pinch, how does it feel when ur so misunderstood. i am not here to defend His Holiness, I simply wanted to ask you a simple question. If you have a brain, Sit down, calm down and think and reflect and react before judging anyone firstly. Long Live His Holiness.
Barkha China is just waiting for this to play their dirty games against India once again mind you I say not against Dalai Lama but India , so let's not given them even a fraction of a chance to play on this episode, enough is enough, I'm sure even the boys parents will never complain about this incident ,the whole world knows what the Dalai Lama truly is and that is he is a sincere kind humble generous soul 💝💐🙏🙏🙏
Would you have felt the same way if he asked your child to suck his tongue and kissed him or her on the lips? Geopolitics over children’s honour?
Dala lama fake monk
@@ashred9665 say whatever you want Dalai Lama is the most noblest of beings on earth today 🙏💝💐🥰
This is not about China. This is about Dalai Lama's sexual misconduct
Did your grandpa ever suck your tongue?
Barkha. Don’t get wrong. The way his holiness the Dalai Lama uses his term “Suck” not meant to say in a literal meaning. But touch his tongue in a light-hearted manner. When you look closely from the source video that he didn’t touch the boy’s tongue. That’s why he apologises for the word may hurt the people on the social media. Sometimes he lost his translation in English. And, The event was took place in broad ‘daylight in front of cameras and audiences. Even his parents were sitting beside with the Dalai Lama. Labelling him as a child abuser and pedophile was not fitted. It is very early to say that he abuses the child without knowing the Dalai Lama intention. In a hype social media age, people easily tend to react so fast by the cover of its book. I am writing as a tibetan who have full believe in Dalai Lama.
He is not so fluent in English and remember that his holiness is self taught in English.. it so painful for people interpreting in negative way. M not Tibetan but I love Dalai Lama . Love and respect to Dalai Lama ❤❤❤❤
Would you want your child to "suck his tongue" ?
Did your grandpa ever suck your tongue? Be honest with us.
@@rinjig4358 He is not self-taught. He was teached by the nazi Heinrich Harrer. Stop lying.
@@rinjig4358 Well for a not fluent english speaker, he knows the word "suck", he must have learned it somewhere. Thw word "touch" is more common for a non fluent speaker, isnt it?
"Eat My Tongue"
The Tibetan Phrase "Che Le Sa"
A KEY POINT MISSING:
In Tibetan culture, it is common to see the old grandparents not only give a pop kiss to the small children, but also give a small candy or piece of food to children from their mouths - directly mouth to mouth. This may not be the norm of your culture, but this is commonly done.
After the elder gives a pop kiss and a candy, since there is nothing left in their mouth, nothing left to give, they will say the phrase "Ok, now
'eat my tongue" (not 'suck,' as His Holiness The Dalai Lama misspoke due to his less proficient
English). The Tibetan phrase is "Che le sa". They say that as in
"I've given you all my love and the candy so that's it-all that's left to do is eat my tongue." And it is a playful thing that the children know.
This is not really done in the Lhasa region (capital of Tibet) so much, but it is more common in the Amdo region (where HH is from).
However, it is definitely a Tibetan custom.
If we are honest with ourselves, we know that when we form an opinion on any topic without considering many aspects of context in any given situation, we are choosing to keep a significant degree of ignorance in our reasoning.
thanks so much for explaining...
Very strange custom of giving candy mouth to mouth to kids.but u clearly explained the custom.
Don't fool people..please.We all see his crime!
Thanks for the explanation!
@@peterg0 nobody is fooling anyone. Just search and see the full video and then decide... Just Google for the full video... not the edited 20sec clip.
The child will get trauma from the wrong media coverage.
This kind of media and the one who started this whole thing must apologize His Holiness the Dalai Lama publicly. If not than we the truth follower will always boycott all of you forever and will not accept your harsh actions.
With due respect to His Holiness and his wisdom, I'd definitely suggest that tongue contact be prohibited at all cost, particularly since the world has just been through a devastating pandemic ! ... 🙏🙏🙏
There may well be a cultural context but we also live in the present and the above opinion points out that we have just lived thru a time when humanity went mad over the possibility of spreading disease via saliva and air borne means. The DL and entourage are shown wearing masks not long before this happened. Even considering this act by an intelligent and seemingly wise being how could the DL ask, verging on demand, that a young boy, innocent of the intents of adults, actually stick his tongue out and pull the boy towards him telling him to suck his tongue. That sentence is actually in command form in English, it is not a question. It is shocking behavior for someone on the world stage. It indicates that he was not operating with full mental awareness that he was being filmed. It was as though he could not control himself to censor whatever it was that drove him on from the first act of "1st here" to the refusal to 'suck the tongue'.
@@sattway9 Exactly...
I heaved a sigh of relief and was extremely glad that in spite of his young age, the little boy had not done as HH had requested and thus averted an even more hostile public response to the episode.
did you see the original clip, tonge touching didn't even happen, They have just shown their tongues to each other, the media just blurred the portion and just cut the portion and shown that
was there a tongue sucking for real ??!!
@@dara_1989 I am absolutely certain that His Holiness has no bad intentions. He in high probability mistook the foreign term "suck" to mean something else, like "show", since he is not well-versed in English language. He is very kind, compassionate and also often playful. His kindness is his 'trade mark'... 😊
Nothing shameful in it. Out of love, Dalai lama did that. I think the media is trying to glamorize it or trying to portray it in a bad light. It is nothing but making a mountain out of a molehill by the media.
It is not Tibetan culture to stick out one's tongue. This myth has been around for over a century. This is either a misunderstanding or a flat out falsehood.
Some Europeans, such as Heinrich Harrer, who made it to Tibet before it was invaded and occupied by the Chinese communists in 1959, authored books in which they mislead the outside world, mainly the western reader, that it was a Tibetan style of greeting or expressing respect to others. They did this to sell books by adding mystery, intrigue, and shock to their narrative. Giants and flying monks were also mentioned for the same effect. Both are, once again, false.
Forget that four decades ago, if I put my tongue out to Tibetans, they would designate me as a mentally ill. And if I had done this to Tibetan women five decades ago, they would have called me a sex-maniac, lecher, libertine, or burnt-out. If it's a greeting, you'd expect them to reciprocate, but they don't. You will be charged with sexual harassment if you do it today.
Some say that it was an ancient practice, which may be somewhat correct.
Udhum Tsenpo, also known as Lang Dharma, was a Tibetan ruler the last Tibetan king who rose to power through a coup and assassination in the ninth century. He was claimed to be scared of Buddhist tantric masters' capacity to cast spells and ordered that those who came into contact with him stick out their tongue to show to him that it was not black, as it was believed that individuals who meditated and recited powerful tantric mantras for a long time developed a black tongue. The king himself was slain within three years by a Buddhist recluse meditating in a cave, therefore this practice could not have lasted long.
The king was a devotee of Bon, Tibet's ancient indigenous religion. He was reported to be ruthless because he was opposed to the advent of Buddhism in Tibet. Buddhism first arrived in Tibet from India. Since the king had died, Tibetans were no longer obligated to stick out their tongues.
I have never seen Tibetans greet anyone by sticking out their tongues in my 55 years in the Tibetan community. However, I have noticed that some Tibetans would stick out their tongue for a split second when they are embarrassed or caught lying or stealing something of minor worth. Some young Tibetans do it politely to taunt youngsters or to say fuck you to grownups. Some people do it when they are nervous or when they are caught making a silly mistake in front of someone of better socioeconomic level. However, I have observed same behavior in other civilizations in comparable circumstances.
So, if this is a culture, it is a global culture.
However, His Holiness is not guilty for the following reasons.
- [ ] ྄I see no lust in His Holiness to exploit the boy sexually
- [ ] I see no intent in His Holiness to abuse the boy
- [ ] The boy asked for a hug
- [ ] His Holiness didn’t go to the boy and pounced him
- [ ] It happened on camera in public
- [ ] The boy has no problem
- [ ] His parents have no problem
- [ ] All three spoke. Watch their video clip
- [ ] 87 year old cannot perform
- [ ] 87 year old can have dementia. Political correctness escapes him sometimes
- [ ] English not being his mother tongue his is not good enough. He meant to say eat my tongue
- [ ] His entire life symbolizes love for all living beings including nature and his “enemies “
- [ ] Not one case of child molestation rumor until now.
- [ ] He is particularly playful for the past decade
- [ ] With age people behave like children
- [ ] Who unleashed the viral clip forty days after the public event? Pro Chinese forces
- [ ] Who stands to gain by tarnishing the image of His Holiness? Chinese communist government
- [ ] And Watch the whole 7 minute video, not just the doctored clip.
One million Tibetan kids are ripped apart from their families in Tibet and shipped to schools in Chinese cities where they are brainwashed into thinking they are Chinese, turning them into propaganda weapons for China.
Ask yourself if you ever spoke out against this widespread exploitation and molestation by placing your palm over your heart. only if you truly care.
Dalia lama has a high profile and is misused by some nonsense people playing geopolitical politics.
It happens to Others Religious leaders ....???
I work as a nanny in us with a billionaire family. I always feel weird seeing parents not kissing their kids. Because I have kids and love giving kiss and my kids gets love from all families. One day I ask the dad, you don’t kiss your child? He answered me I was never kissed by my parents and it was weird for me. After then I notice they staring to kiss their child on their head and forehead sometimes. I notice they look more warm and affectionate with each other. We have different cultures so don’t judge. Negative people always take it negatively.
Hello. I culture asks anyone to suck their tongue and he was touching the child again and again
parent parents place cant take by anyone that is the difference.
Tenzin, Thank you so much for your explanation. May love, compassion and Kindness enlighten the darkest mind in this world. As His Holiness said, Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. Barkha, I am in my late 40s and I still kiss my dad who is 80 plus, and my son 22 years old, who was born in America. It is normal to kiss on the lips in our society. It is important to show full coverage of that video. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
this group of tibetan are terrorist like Pakistan terrorist in India....
Is dalali lama is his father .. he abused a child .. period.. he may be dalali lama or any xyz.. not above law.. why on earth you ask a kid to suck your tongue .. and you guys defending a disgrace ..
@@Sacchaindian007 boys parent are just in front of his holiness while kissing and hugging..dont look at the cover pages must read the whole story......his parent are hosting this full event....dont blahhhhhh
Did you suck tongue of your children? Just curious.
Ha ha don’t talk about below law because law is just for show up people can buy law by the money. It is like very precious jewels the person who has more money that can buy the law.
Where is this 4 women and one men, when kangana actress kiss one child, where is this people so call activists?
It's a Tibetan custom where the elderly often tease kids saying the same as a sign of affection. Did Barkha Dutt bother to do her homework before sensationalising the case! Not everything is Indian politics that we should be ashamed of. Western media is obviously used to more outrageous and loathesome behaviour by celebrities. They lapped it up, of course. One must understand the geography and culture of the place where a person comes from.
Here the question is not about kissing. He kissed the kid first but it was an innocent kiss. But when he asked the kid to lick his tongue that's clearly abuse and not normal!! I don't think it has ever been "normal" to ask a kid to lick your tongue in any era or culture!!! It has nothing to do with evolution of laws or societal norms! Sexual intent can happen in front of a big crowd too when you are a person of power and when one knows that no one will doubt them! You are wrong in saying that there was no intent. When he kissed the kid it was different but when he asked the kid to suck his tongue there was a wrong intent! It was NOT playful. And when the kid became uncomfortable, Dalai Lama should have just stopped this thing even before it happened. The kid was uncomfortable. I don't think there is any culture in which kids are asked to suck tongues of the adults!
do they really touch each other tongue? no than
The child was uncomfortable with the kiss as well that's why dude grabbed his face and damn near forced him 😢
I had heard about Barkha’s mistakes from many people, today I realized her mistakes too.
मैंने बरखा की गलतियों के बारे में बहुत लोगों से सुना था, आज मुझे उसकी गलतियों का भी एहसास हुआ।
#Be aware of the diversity of cultures and traditions
#Stop defaming His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
#Remember the existence of multicultural manners.
#Stop judging his holiness in just 5sec videos.
#The media must apologize to his holiness the Dalai Lama.
#Never judge someone without knowing the whole story.
This discussion is like a threat to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Not checking fully from all dimensions , they are threatening his Holiness , Tibetan and all the Buddhists around the world. This discussion is a mirror of today’s society where people judge others without knowing other. Sad world 😢
Hi Madam, I watched your show. I regret that you didn’t include full video & also you should have showed the interview section with boy & his mom. I am so glad to see that these ladies are so concerned about children. That’s great! How about all those homeless children in India & also all the innocent children that are taken away from their families to camp by Chinese gov.
Agar dekhne walon ke soch or nazariyan he galat hai to baghwaan mai bhi galti dekhai deta hai.
Please first write proper name. Its Dalai Lama NOT Dali Lama
Spreading baseless accusations without conducting proper research about someone who has spent 87 years of his life promoting peace, harmony, and compassion, and setting an example of how we can live peacefully and with empathy towards people of all backgrounds, races, colors, religions, and castes around the world especially in India. Consider the countless instances of crime and violence that would have been reduced as a result of the Dalai Lama's teachings and continuous promotion of being kind to each other and compassion. Instead of showing gratitude towards His Holiness, that journalist/TV actress? have caused harm to all Buddhist followers who believe in showing kindness to all human being. Obviously, it appears that they are unaware of His holiness’s teachings and causes despite being educated (of course they might be literate but not educated for sure!) individual who has a significant responsibility to ensure that they conduct thorough research before spreading false or hateful information. It is regrettable that their followers are influenced by their incorrect and negative thoughts and news. Fortunately, I neither follow them nor have any knowledge of who they are.🙏🙏🙏
The family must come forward and clarify the situation asap and im sure that the boy never thought of hugging HH the parents had taught the boy to ask HH for hug...
Wanting to hug a "holy man" does not mean he asked to be sexually exploited
The internet is a sewer. Anything for views and staying relevant.
I don’t know, what type of debate is this, 4 women and 1 man, against only 1 people, it is also not right morally! If you believe in equity than it should be seen in your studio! But it is disappointing!
We are Tibetan and we love our spiritual leader His holiness the Dalai Lama. How much u try to pull down we never stop loving His holiness and we respect our His holiness the Dalai Lama.
That means she does not like another religion.
We have to put ourselves in this child's place to understand really how uncomfortable, helpless and violated the child would have felt.
Yes I agree- we have to put ourselves in the kids position. Has someone asked the kids or the parent if they are troubled or traumatized? Or are we imposing this trauma and misinterpreting words of affection as sexual. Let’s be more empathetic - and look into the situation carefully and see if we are not causing more harm and just being brainwashed by media…
Yes meet with young boy and then do it, you have right to do it..
Long Live HH Dalai Lama
Why you not put ur self in child place. 1month to 10 yrs girls raped around us……
Well, the kid has spoken in the media already. Go check out for yourself.
Media is creating this scenario so it is their responsibility n pls raise your voice to them . We are living in dirty world where people take advantage of pure mind like HH . Anyways feeling compassion to ignorant people who are only after money
As for the poll result ?
Come on man … ask if there was sexual intent ?
Then let’s see if the poll result is so skewed ..,
Jesus man … woke never seems so moronic than this
To greet with tongue out,not suck my tongue...it's a crime!
So disappointed to see you take up this topic, not expected this from you
This video is so disgusting and hate that this happened! I used to respect him so much! I think it's a cultural thing maybe. I remember when I used to go to karate classes as a kid, my sensei was from north east and at the end of every class he used to kiss everyone on mouth! A very wet kiss! I was a little girl and I used to hate it!!! I hated going to that class only because of this reason otherwise he used to teach very nicely! Maybe it's a cultural thing but i used to feel so disgusted! I hated going to class so much so that karate used to start at home between me and my parents before going to the class! 🙂 Finally my parents budged. Unfortunately my first kiss is my karate sensei!😢 But ofcourse asking a kid to suck your tongue is definitely horrible and wrong intent.
Why don’t you call and ask the kids parents it would be more convenient
@@Dolmasangmoofficial I don't need to. The authorities will and they should.
@@tejug1161 Than how could you even judge without even proper investigation? My question is did you even bother to know who’s spreading this so called propaganda and why after a month? Id not than you should and if you don’t wish to unless you are paid thank you.
@teju Did you watch the full video or you just watched the 8 seconds edited video
This is ludicrous and abhorrent. What happened to the mind of Dalai Lama.
I wish these child protection members can save all the unfortunate children who are literally faceing abuses. Not this child who got a smal effection
from the Dalai Lama. What level of hypocrisy.
I feel pity on the ignorance n foolishness of four panelist n barkha datta who only wanted to see the compassion, love n playfulness act of His Holiness as a abuse. U educated fool panelist really think can someone who is revere by the world can do such thing in front of so many cameras n publics, Use ur logic by the way. LONG LiVE HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA.
His Holiness did this in front of whole world in a playful way so it’s nothing serious , don’t make a mountain out of molehill. Apply these ‘child abusive act’ on those who are really doing these behind the close doors . So stop all these non sense specially by the media.
We are the new Tibet generation growing and spreading all over the world humbly..I respect all the comments,but the way it's portrait by Barkha is really disturbing for me...There will b debates all over respectfully but the mojo of the direction of this particular push is not acceptable....The DALAI Lama as u said enjoyed his reign,u r wrong .He has gone through and still going through a really emotional compassion for the humans all over the world...God bless u ..
Where is this four women, when one Japanese girl is abused in Delhi in the name of holy celebration, and one Korean girl TH-camr was abuse in mumbai by few people! Where is this four women so call activists?
Inadequate research and jumping to conclusions as usual. Please see full video and not just a clip to understand what exactly happened..... Such reporting is not expected from you. My respect for HH Dalai Lama is unshatteted.
That was not sexual intention at all by His Holiness. Please let His Holiness live peaceful at this age. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Shut up! Asking a small child to suck tongue and kiss on the lips is sexual misconduct!!
So let him be because of his "holiness" and this child can just swallow the trauma and live his much longer life dealing with it. No thank you, you guys are all enablers of abuse!
We stand with his holiness Dalai lama.long live his holiness Dalai Lama 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
Then suck his tongue.
Also, Shanta Sinha, who got the most time to speak, herself is not "cleansed by milk." There were controversies while she was the head of the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights.
Bharka Dutt, please listen
there are many Indian child suffering worse than ever. Why no debate? Why Dalai Lama?
It’s in a public gathering infront of cameras, Dalai Lama explained affectionately. Why you cropped the video? Did you received Chinese money? Why you create blurry image of a boy? Totally nonsense and unacceptable.
Please go through Indian child who are suffering under cruel situation in India.
The boy is not painful and traumatized because he knows that His Holiness has no any sexual intend. He is very happy and said that he is filled with positivity within him after the hug. His parents are fully satified. So, the panel should see the full video unedited. Today after Buddha only His Holiness is the only being who is benefiting not only this world but the more than 20 billion world systems within our universe.
I shared the link to the video where the boy shared his experience after the event but it’s taken down, thrice. Seems like finding truth never really was your intention but selling the sensational story to help your dying career.
I am sorry why I feel this Mojo is being funded by CCP..Bharka seriously needs to introspect... Values over money. I wonder why she does this to peaceful Buddhist community across the world..she could have shown the full video and also the interview given by the boy and his parents.
Good point
When people age up,they act childish & it's universal. It's Tibetan old tradition to kiss, chew food by parents and given from mouth etc....so it's wrong to make it spicy by adding all opinion.HHDL is not a master on English language or words.suck can mean kiss etc to Him.
Why you not uploaded it full video?
Woke is not just showing outrage .. at any perceived outrage … woke actually means intelligence expanded
Consciousness opened
A willingness to go deep into the issues
To be willing to know they could be wrong
HOW it works !
Honesty to know they can be dishonest
Open minded enough to allow a different point of view into their heads
Willingness to change
Not show merely shallow outrage
And then jump onto the next shallow outrage on social media
Woke was an African term hijacked by white American faux activists. For this reason it has come to be more a term of derision mocking those who self-righteously parade superficial virtue & concern for minority & oppressed groups.
The possibility is that child would be traumatized not from this innocent and playful act with the HH Dalia lama but instead from the way how social media is blowing this up out of proportion and adults' comments and their opinions on this misunderstood innocent act. It's such a shame how ppl are very easy to judge and sexualize everything and determine one's entire life through a 2-second video clip. Give yourself a break and go watch the full video and start looking into your thoughts. Moreover why this video is speculating after 2months? If this was to raise a concern should have been done on the the same day of the event. Not to mention All media were present to go viral. SMH
If u think, it’s child abuse, why don’t u asked his parents.
Now you know that this is a Chinese propaganda, where the video is clipped and tailored. Please remove this interview. People all over the globe stood up for his holiness by peace protest. We want apology for defaming our beloved guru! Before you say or write anything against about his holiness, do a thorough research, investigate and then face the camera. You guys broke the hearts of millions of people. It takes time to heal!
Is there any chance the Dalai Lama… being 87 years old… has a new brain disorder?
It is horrible but what jumps out at me was that this occurred in public so he didn’t conceive the idea that this was wrong.
George HW was known to be very respectful throughout his entire life. During the last maybe 5 years before his death, when he was in a wheelchair, and clearly was not as cognitively sharp as he used to be; it was reported that he pinched a lady aide’s buttocks.
My guess is that similarly to an adult w/ an intellectual disability, HW, lost a lot of his prefrontal cortex abilities. Meaning, not just his impulsivity, but a change in personality due to declining cognitive abilities.
If Bharkha cares so much about the child and why she played the video again and again like Bollywood drama?
To show the gravity of the situation!
She should have played the full video (which is by the way less than 2 mins long) to get full context. Just playing a small clip helps in sensationalizing and profiting from it.
@@divya4238 It made out to be grave for sensational TRP/viewship.
Extrapolating this to child abuse is shameful. Condemning something that wasn't even understood. Abuse happens behind closed doors. Not in full view of world cameras. You choose to see an apple as an orange that's your problem. Black and white?! That's how we think these days. It was shameful and disturbing to listen to this Barkha.
Shame on you for not showing the entire video and interviews of the boy and his mother after their visit. His Holiness is the Bodhisattva of compassion. His holiness has spent his entire life for celibacy and monastic. I am disgusted and disappointed in you.
Never apologize to the woke crowd.
I expect the boy’s parents to come front and explain the reality! Boy is the luckiest . His Holiness is very pure and playful to all! His Holiness has no Lust and attachment at all. Pls upload the whole video . Wait and watch because truth will come front soon!
What’s holy about a human being? Where is the evidence from God that this human is holy?
Would he do this to a rich white kid in America? He knows the power dynamics there. Right?
What if Trump did this? Would we b discussing if it's appropriate or not?
Even the Buddha would condemn this. There are strict codes of ethical behaviour in Buddhism.
Disgusting.
Shame on you Barkha! How can you draw a conclusion by the cropped video. You are not fallen on it. It was intentional for TRP. Can’t believe you are such a low person like this. We used to think highly of you.
What is not considered is that HH informalized the whole way, we interact with him. In the old days, there was a lot of physical distance and blessings were made with a tassel or just a touch to the head. This is a very informal prelate, who hugs, people all the time - see accompanying pics. Two things collide here: one is our traditional reverence for HHDL and specially, the current incarnation. and the other is a take on chilld protection that requires the hyper legalization of all interactions. Perhaps more formal norms need to be re-established so that there is not such a misunderstanding. Remember, this was within 40 seconds in a big crowd with his parents very close. Rather than just identifying HHDL, a code of conduct for children's participation in public events should be developed and made public. So much happens in the public space using children , in India and all over the world. Abuse usually takes place in private not in the publix sphere with so many looking on. I hope there is no pressure on the family from any side and more so on the child. Listen to the IPS Officer. Social media is consuming the child -- in the end, its the sensationaliist feeding frenzy of Social Media. Lesson there for all of us.
I would only like to say God plz forgive those negative mind people or their misunderstandings. They don’t know they have to pay for it through their karma. I have immense respect respect to HHDL.
Globlalization of cultures, I don’t think it’s as bad as it looks.
Maybe he used politically incorrect words instead of saying eat my tongue he used sucks... what's so wrong with that. this is their way of showing gesture his love and affection irrespective of color, caste, and religion. please try to understand others' ways of culture .long Live His Holiness the Great 14th Dalai lama.
Love is absence of knowledge... world is full of negativity and sexuality sadly ..
First, if this session is meant to have a constructive discussion of the entire incident, play the full video under which the event took place. By simply playing a part of the video is planting a seed of doubt on the minds of uncorrupted individuals. And as I watch this session, I noticed how the entire narrative is getting shifted from nothing to something.
Second, if the concerns of the panel and public is about the “negative impact” to a child, his parents or guardian should step forward and explain how this incident impacted them and their child. I’m sure both the child and their parents will share our sentiments because we view the entire event from the same lens of reverence and love for His Holiness. And that’s why a child asked His Holiness for a hug in the presence of media and other worshippers.
Third, please refrain from comparing His Holiness to actions of laypeople. He is a living god. Everything he does, speaks and acts is considered sacred and holds a significant meaning. The child is beyond blessed to have such opportunity.
Fourth, all the incidences of sexual abuse, harassment and assault are conducted in closed doors and at nights, and not in public. The truth is that the entire session has created a new narrative of something it didn’t exist in the first place. I’m concerned how this would affect the child himself!
Five,please take a moment to pause and reflect. There are far better subjects and social issues in this world to discuss and fight for; poverty, unemployment, crime, delinquency, drug abuse, corruption, health problems, lack of access to education, and finally to hold real perpetrators of rape an accountable for their crimes. If I were you, I would leverage the platform to advocate for these issues.
And finally, His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama has served and dedicated his entire life cultivating peace, compassion and love to create a safe and better place for us to live, breathe and evolve. Even at 87, he is committed and tirelessly works for the world peace. Our love, reverence and gratitude to His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama will remain untainted. Both public and media should realise that our children are in a better place because of His Holiness message of peace, love and non-violence🙏🏻Kyab Su Che📿
Dear Tenzin Nordon, I respectfully take very strong objections to especially your points - # 3, and final comments. I quote
"Third, please refrain from comparing His Holiness to actions of laypeople. He is a living god. Everything he does, speaks and acts is considered sacred and holds a significant meaning. The child is beyond blessed to have such opportunity." - and I urge you to take note of the last sentence - THE CHILD IS BEYOND BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH OPPORTUNITY - (emphasis mine) Ms. Nordon, Really, the child is blessed to suck his holiness' tongue?!
"And finally, His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama has served and dedicated his entire life cultivating peace, compassion and love to create a safe and better place for us to live, breathe and survive. Even at 87, he is committed and tirelessly works for the world peace. Our love, reverence and gratitude to His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama will remain untainted. Both public and media should realise that our children are in a better place because of His Holiness message of peace, love and non-violence🙏🏻Kyab Su Che📿"
Again, Ms. Nordon... just because His Holiness The Dalai Lama has done a yeoman's service to the cause of the world - and I would be the first one to admit and have enormous respect for him having read a bit - not a lot - of his sayings and also about him. But to say - that should be an excuse to exonerate him from such an abrasive act! We are not looking at actions of some of the prophets in the distant past, when none saw anything wrong with many of the actions that would be unpardonable these days. His Holiness is living with us - HERE and NOW - and he has been a very modern thinker.
Without showing disrespect - I wonder if the frailities of age are finally catching up with His Holiness? Should he be now contemplating on retirement - even as I am sure this will leave a significant vacuum - but history tells us that when he ran away from Tibet and into India - there was a huge vacuum, which he managed to fill eventually. The modern information technology would not be as accommodative of the frailties of the new leader and he would be watched and scrutinised and his actions - both omissions and commissions - be analysed very closely - microscopically.
There are things passed off as culturally acceptable - Really?! If that were the case - we should be accepting and eulogising many cultural practices - Sati, Gender inequality, Polygamy - daughters have no right to property - cultural practices abhor and go against science - all the rituals that are harmful and regressive - are we going to continue to embrace them - when The Holiness himself has embraced modernity and science and has willingly subjected Buddhism to be tested against the principles of modern science.
Please stay awake and alive - alive to the reality. Even Gandhi was widely criticised for his foolish experiments in his old age, despite him being a Mahatma - his frailties were there for all to see... So please let us not get overawed and do call out what happened. Ask - should The Holiness - given his age related frailties be taking a back seat and retire..... He has been a hero for millions - including for me for many, many years.... Let us keep his good work relevant and alive...
Well said. Thank you. Long live his holiness.
Yass🎉
Modi should Kick him out of India. Send him back to china
I felt bullied by Indian news outlets and media person like Barkha. How can they make such a allegation by cropped video and hurt all our sentiments. Will they do such if it involves other faith’s leaders. It’s very clear perpetrator of cropped video is meant to vilify his holiness and hurt Tibetan people’s sentiments.
How do you call it a level playing field when you have one Tibetan for the Dalailama and the other four panelists against him… wah wah … btw I don’t know how you guys removed my previous comment but removed it you did… stop 🛑 cherry picking comments
I feel sorry for Tenzin for he was sandwiched by four and five if u count the host herself…
With regard to these panelist trying to prove intent from legal stand please leave it to the experts in their field. Secondly, u get to prove intent if there was a crime committed…laughable… it’s not just you who have the legal knowledge of how laws work…
HH said sorry to what he did, said in front of a camera.
To me HH appeared first of all happy the child asked for a hug, and HH continued by being very familiar with the boy. Thats' it. Instead, all of us should protect our mind to not project on a highly spiritual leader, our miserable accusations. Take care
Stop this justification! HH? From which angle? Wake up!
@@rm3015 from the angle of his entire life. dedicated to preserve Buddha Dharma. this is the True.
@@silvanatamburiel8213 The Vatican has apologized for sexual abuse by its senior priests that was swept under the carpet for decades. Those so called God Men have been punished and justice granted to abuse victims. Let's hope same happen here too. ☮for the child. ✌
@@silvanatamburiel8213 a man cannot represent an entire religion. Now, only a fool will respect him.
Perhaps he has grown old and senile too. He just doesn't know what has he done
True
In Law we always say that a predetermined mind is already failed to do justice in a case. This is absolutely an inappropriate act but one has to establish the intent as talked by one of the member. And moreover only the boy could certainly tell whether he felt any sexual intent in it or not. In 48 min show how many times the word sexual intent / gesture used and used for such an old person who is revered all over the world.
So u still haven't seen the boy's interview? How come, u are so quick to watch this clip and camr to a inclusion with a second thought. But never bothered to know the full context , background,History. That's the insanity of immature human's on earth.
Barkha now you are no more truthful journalist......
I usually have lots of respect for your show. But you using this clip and inviting these child rights protective and social workers, that’s totally unnecessary. And this put you and the millions of scandalous fame and money monger TH-camrs, or rating craved journalists in the same category.
This has been taken out of context.
I think this is not an inappropriate act, but a public act where the Dalai Lama had an innocent gesture which is misinterpreted from different cultural clues.
I understand that in the West we are tired of seeing the impunity of thousands of cases of pederasty in certain religious institutions but that has to be addressed with judicial actions that, unfortunately, are being impededed...
It's already known that social networks are a cauldron of unleashed emotions, often grounded in bullshit.
The fact is that in Tibet they have a habit of greeting each other by sticking out their tongue or touching their nose, as a sign of affection and respect.
His Holiness publicly saluted a child with that tongue-out gesture that we Westerners associate with disrespect, which is just the opposite of its Tibetan meaning.
There was nothing inappropriate about that public act. On the contrary, the child and his family continued enthusiastically accompanying SS to that event.
In view of the noise that has been generated, the Dalai Lama has issued a statement regretting the inconvenience caused to people who have not properly interpreted the situation.
Unfortunately, this generous act of compassion by the Dalai Lama has been manipulated into making it seem like an admission of guilt, which is an absolutely misinterpretation.
May we observe this situation from compassion, understanding that those who act by propagating bullies, are people who suffer because of their confusion.
We have an excellent practice to offer them that compassionate love they need through the practice of TongLen.
A warm greeting, with much love
Coming from Barkha Dutt this news item seems suspect straightaway. I agree i am biased- for though she is articulate and even glib tongued her motivations somehow seem coloured, compromised and having some agenda.
Hope, at least, she won’t compromise with her profession.
Journalists these days just need content to sensationalise.They paint a entirely different picture .
I know, when our soldiers were Martyr in Kashmir she is supporting Hurriyat separatist groups in Kashmir
Thank you 🙏🏻
Barkha, if you wanted an honest discussion the least could have done is find the unedited video. It isn’t that difficult. You playing the same cropped video says a lot. Another thing, for those saying intent is difficult to prove, yes, I get it you can’t possibly read someone’s mind but you can sure you check their history if there been any other such incident, look at their other work and his behaviour in general.
Am 54 years old mother of 3 and my dad is 96 and my mom is 84…but I kiss both my parents on their lips till now and of course to all my 3 childrens and my parents kisses my kids almost two to three times a day….this is very very normal in our Tibetan’s daily life
Do you suck Their tounge?
If it is true, something is not right with Dalai Lama
Not with you ok.When someone doesn't know whole story.Feel really pity to those who search fault in higher guru.
Feel sorry for the ignorant/ painful thoughts hope you will get an opportunity to meditate and see the reality. Big B don’t exceed the limits of your space for sensationalism you should have done some more patience to asses what is happening before tarnishing / casting aspiration on a very realised soul .Prayers for HH and regret for all the mud slinging by these English self righteous ignorant people ,🌹🙏
Pagal sala
Child and his mother are interviewed after the program. Plz watch all and listened carefully how positive feeling they had.
Plz don’t show that edited video again and again and mislead people.
How are people even defending this????
As I go through the comments here.. i saw so many positive words from so many Indian.. thankyou for your understanding. Your way of thinking are not influenced by the hypersexualised world these days.
THANK YOU❤ WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE HOSPITALITY AND KIND GESTURES WE RECEIVED. HOW CAN WE EVER REPAY YOUR KINDNESS.
I watched the blurred video first and jumped to conclusions quickly.. I misinterpreted and now I regret 😔.. Extremely sorry🙏
@@epictetus__ thank you so much for your truth 🙏 we 6 million Tibetans are truly disheartened with current events and your change in perspectives and consideration towards our culture gives us a sense of hope. Tashi Delek from Tibetans.
The boy and his mother were also happy after having an audience. They both have talked about their experience.
What did the child faced? Then hav u contact the child & the family? U armchair Aktivist didnt. We knew for the Fact that child & the family didnt felt abused at all. They were all joyful & feeling blessed as they knew its all out of love & pure intentions. I pity u guys for getting the Facts all wrong. And that old lady saying its Sexual blew my mind. It show she dont knw who this 87 yrs old person.
Our GOD His Holiness 14th Dalai Lama will never do such a stupid thing like. His life is devoted to help the community around the world. No different in color and one human being. Just need to spread the love and compassion. Long live His Holiness and this Topic of sexual abuse can never being down a our GOD.
