His Holiness the Dalai Lama is in the United States
for a medical check-up. The doctors have advised His Holiness to rest for the
next several weeks. As a result, His Holiness’ planned October U.S. visit has
been cancelled. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused by this decision and
apologize to all the people who have worked so hard in organizing the visit as
well as to the public. We thank you for your support and understanding.

Holiness the Dalai Lama
How many US politicians or religious leaders think of others they may possibly have inconvenienced and are so quick to apologize?
Best wishes to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
I guess he’s trying to meet the pretty nurses. Yawn.
Nice knowing ya!
