Dalai Lama Exhausted, Cancels Trips

Thursday August 28, 2008

A spokesperson for His Holiness the Dalai Lama said that His Holiness has canceled trips to Mexico and the Dominican Republic because he is feeling unwell. His doctors have diagnosed exhaustion. He will spend the next three weeks resting and getting medical tests.

The 72-year-old "simple monk" has taken rest breaks before. In 2006 he was "grounded" by his doctors for a month.
