New Delhi – The Dalai Lama has been hospitalized in the Indian capital with a chest infection and is feeling better, a spokesperson said Wednesday.
The 83-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader is taking medication and will likely spend a day or two in the hospital, Tenzin Taklha said.
The Dalai Lama flew from Dharmsala for consultations with doctors in the capital and was hospitalized on Tuesday.
Takhla said the Dalai Lama was feeling much better now but had already cut down on travel in the past year in order to tend to his health.
Answering a question related to Tibet's future with China, he reiterated that he isn't seeking independence for Tibet, but would prefer a "reunion" with China under mutually acceptable terms.
