Dalai Lama Remains Hospitalized After Canceling U.S. Appearances

Tibet's exiled Buddhist leader remained at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota Sunday after canceling his U.S. appearances for the month of October.


Tibet's Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama, remained on Sunday at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic for evaluation following a routine annual check-up, clinic spokeswoman Ginger Plumbo confirmed to BuzzFeed News.

On Friday, the Dalai Lama's website said he had canceled his planned October U.S. visit after doctors advised him to "rest for several weeks." No other details about his condition have been released.

The 80-year-old Nobel Peace laureate had been scheduled to speak at events in Colorado, Massachusetts, Utah, and Pennsylvania beginning on Oct. 17.
