Dalai Lama’s actions put him in trouble

The spiritual leader stated in an interview in 2019 that a woman should be “more attractive” if she were to succeed him. Outrage was caused by this comment.

The leader joked to the media, “If a female Dalai Lama comes, she should be more attractive.” After that, he made a twisted face and claimed that “people, I think, prefer not to see that face” if a female Dalai Lama had a particular appearance.

The his holiness answered, “I think both,” when asked if that might be seen as objectifying in contrast to a person’s inherent worth.

Later, he expressed regret for his remarks. His Holiness honestly meant no disrespect, according to his office, and he “sincerely regrets that people have been hurt by what he said and offers his sincere apologies.”
