Dalai Lama to leave hospital

The Dalai Lama will leave a hospital tomorrow after undergoing tests for abdominal discomfort, his spokesman said.

“He is feeling well. He will be discharged tomorrow,” spokesman Tenzin Takla said today.

The Dalai Lama, 73, flew to Mumbai, India’s financial capital, on Thursday and was admitted to Lilavati Hospital with what his advisers said was exhaustion.

He cancelled planned trips to Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

The Dalai Lama spends several months a year travelling the globe to highlight the struggle of Tibetans for greater freedom in China and to teach Buddhism.
