ENGLAND: The Dalai Lama has suggested that his successor could be female, but only if she is “very attractive”.

Quirky World ... Next Dalai Lama could be a ‘very attractive’ woman

The spiritual leader said a woman could replace him, and that she would be more biologically suited to showing affection and compassion. Speaking to the BBC, the Dalai Lama recalled a comment he made to a French journalist 15 years ago. He said: “I think females should take a more important role. I told the reporter, ‘if a female Dalai Lama comes her face must be — should be — very attractive’.” When asked for clarification, he said: “When female Dalai Lama comes, then that female must be attractive, otherwise not much use.”
