An uncomfortable video has emerged showing the Dalai Lama asking a young Indian boy to "suck my tongue".
The clip of the most senior spiritual figure in Tibetan Buddhism was recorded during an event in northern India's hillside city of Dharamshala back in February.
The clip went viral today, with many on social media slamming the weird interaction, in which the figurehead kisses the young lad on the lips before making the disturbing request.
