The Dalai Lama has said he hopes to live beyond 130 years of age, speaking a day ahead of his 90th birthday, as the Buddhist spiritual leader’s succession has renewed frictions between India and China.
The 14th Dalai Lama spoke during a ceremony organised by his followers to offer prayers for his long life, as part of birthday celebrations on Sunday. Hundreds attended the prayer offering at the Main Tibetan Temple in McLeod Ganj, near Dharamsala in India.
