Dalai Lama apologizes for controversial video with child.

The Dalai Lama has apologized after a video of him kissing a young boy and asking him to "suck my tongue" went viral on social media. The incident occurred during a public event in late February at the Dalai Lama's temple in Dharamshala, India. The office of the Dalai Lama categorized the act as "innocent and playful," but many social media users condemned the behavior as inappropriate and disgusting. The Dalai Lama has previously been involved in controversies that have prompted him to publicly apologize in the past.
