Poking out the tongue is s common greeting in Tibet but sucking someone’s tongue? Please …. No way. It’s disgusting behaviour from a grown man to a child.

Do watch the original video, before posting anything, don't use it as your content.

That is not innocent and playful. He’s apologizing because he knows he’s wrong. Hate to know what has happened off camera . I don’t care what kind of fancy robes you wear or who you pray to

Good thing Tibet was liberated from him in 1954.

Did i just see something like "his holiness"? This man must be a joke. Arrest and lock him up

Lost in Translation: Eat My Tongue

The Tibetan Phrase “Che La Sa”

A key point missing: In Tibetan culture, it is common to see old grandparents not only give a kiss to small children, but to also give a small candy or piece of food to children from their mouths – directly from mouth to mouth. This may not be the norm of your culture, but this is commonly done.

After the Elder gives a 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, his Holiness misspoke due to his less than proficient English).

The Tibetan phrase is, “Che la 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.” It is a playful thing that the children know. This is not really done in the Lhasa region the capital of Tibet as much, but it is more common in the Amdo region where the Dalai Lama 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 the context, in any given situation, we are choosing to keep a significant degree of ignorance in our reasoning.

On Perception


On the whole, we naturally tend to trust our everyday perceptions; we assume their validity without it even occurring to us to question them. We naïvely believe that the way we perceive things is identical with the way things are. And so, because events and things, including the self, appear to have objective reality, we conclude, tacitly and often without any reflection at all, that they do in fact have an objective reality. Only through the process of careful analysis can we see that this is not so, that our perceptions do not accurately reflect objective reality.

Its to late now we have all seen the sick side of him . Send him to jail 🤮

[Aslan-cometh]

And people think he's able to talk to Bodhisattvas.

[garybickles]

I’ve never even asked my wife to do this.

[lalyaguilar]

The boy came for a hug not a kiss. This is so disrespectful, who knows what is the boy reaction when he goes back home. Dalai Lama is taking over advantage.

[jffong]

this is totally unacceptable, and he should be jailed.

[RockieC]

Prison, lock him up, throw away the key!!!

Police : why did you rob that bank?
Me: I’m sorry
Police : off you go.
Doubt it.

Who is playful in asking anyone to suck their tongue?

[mariaelisaellis]

Too late! He lost his credibility and respect.

[marym]

Um....DL apology means nothing. It minimizes the incident. It was not playful. It was sick! DL....stands for down low fyi. That video is disgusting and full of darkness. Nothing holy about it.

[Tenerio]

This man is the reason thousands of tibetans and orphans have survived war and could live on. He lived his life sacrificing everything for his people. Now he does one stupid mistake and the world cancels him. This is the cancel culture.

[mrDeathtrooper]

If he does this in public imagine what he does in private.

[ramirez]

This is not playful or innocent..
Don't want to imagine him without cameras around
