New Delhi.– The Dalai Lama participated in a 12-hour fast for peace in Tibet on Saturday despite being hospitalized in western India, his spokesman said.

The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader was unable to join nearly 2,000 Tibetan exiles fasting in his temple in Dharmsala, the northern Indian headquarters of the Tibetan government-in-exile, and instead held his own fast in his hospital bed, spokesman Tenzin Takla told the press.

The Dalai Lama, 73, flew to Mumbai, India's financial capital, on Thursday and was admitted to Lilavati Hospital for tests for abdominal discomfort.

Costa Rica told the monk not to come because he likes to cause riots.

But it's a shame that this monk can't go anywhere while the moonies go where ever they want.

Somebody arranged a big trip for the monk, but it fell apart.

We don't need Dalai Lama (Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso) or in short: Lhamo Döndrub.
