In zest or jest? Will live for 130 years, perhaps more, Dalai Lama tells followers
A day before his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama expressed his hope to live beyond 130 years. Addressing devotees in McLeodganj, he stated his belief in having served Buddha Dharma and the Tibetan people well. While previously suggesting he might live to 110 or 113, the spiritual leader’s latest statement comes amid ongoing discussions about succession.
