The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, has cancelled a visit to Europe scheduled for July because of minor health concerns, the Office of Tibet in Paris said.
"The Dalai Lama’s doctors told him to rest. It’s nothing serious. He’s just had a very busy schedule this year with lots of trips. He needs to rest," an official told AFP.
"So he had to take the decision to cancel all his commitments and trips scheduled for July to France, Finland and Spain," she said.
The Tibetan Buddhist leader is due on Thursday to celebrate his 71st birthday in the northern Indian hilltop town of Dharamsala.
