The Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, is set to undergo medical treatment for his left knee in New Delhi this month, according to an announcement from his office. The 90-year-old will travel from his home-in-exile in Dharamshala to the Indian capital on Friday. His followers are known to hold elaborate prayers before any medical procedures due to ongoing concerns about his health. Following the treatment, he plans to stay in the Ladakh region until the end of June. The Dalai Lama previously underwent surgery on the same knee in New York in 2024, which he later described as 'nothing serious,' although he has been seen walking with assistance. He has expressed hopes of living beyond 130 years and has reassured his followers regarding his reincarnation after death. Since fleeing Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule, he has been a prominent figure in advocating for Tibetan autonomy. China views the Dalai Lama as a separatist and insists it must approve his successor, a stance he has publicly rejected.
