China on Monday criticised the Grammy Award conferred on the Dalai Lama, stating that it “firmly opposes” the Tibetan spiritual leader using the international recognition to carry out what it described as “anti-China activities.”
The reaction came after the Dalai Lama (also known as Tenzin Gyatso) won his first Grammy Award in the Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording category for his spoken-word album Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the 68th Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles.
