達賴喇嘛對「極度勞累」有所抱怨后,已經取消了其接下來的國際行程。這激起了對於其健康狀況的擔憂。
根據達賴辦公室的一份聲明說,這位73歲的西藏精神領袖在最近幾天內「經歷過一些不適」並最終決定不再按照行程繼續前往墨西哥和多明尼加。
西藏流亡政府發言人Thupten Samphel說,達賴喇嘛在返回其在Dharamsala的住所休息前會到孟買進行一些醫學檢查。
Samphel補充道:「他過去相當長的一段時間經常到孟買去進行例行體檢以聽取醫生的一些建議。「
這位1989年諾貝爾和平獎獲獎人自1959年因在西藏進行針對中國的起義失敗后就在Dharamsala流亡至今。
達賴喇嘛在德里的代表,Tempa Tshering,試圖平息對於達賴健康的憂慮。「達賴喇嘛現在很好,他就是太累了,「他說,」他在最近一年的行程太過緊密。「
中國指責達賴喇嘛幕後指使3月在西藏首府拉薩發生的針對中國統治的暴力起義,並試圖在喜馬拉雅地區得到完全的獨立。他否認了這些指控,並指出他希望是在西藏有進一步的自治僅僅是為了保護其藏傳佛教的文化。
達賴喇嘛每年都花大量的時間在世界各地旅行來傳播佛教以及激起人們對於藏人不幸的認識。他在返回前剛剛在法國進行了為期11天的訪問。

Tempa Tshering, a representative of theDalai Lama in Delhi, tried to allay health fears. "The Dalai Lama isfine, he's just exhausted," he said. "He has had a hectic schedule forthe last year."
