    Jesus just go with ” it was a bad joke that didn’t land, sorry”. Anything else is clearly bullshit.

    Dig a man a hole and he’ll put his foot in it. Give a man a shovel and he’ll dig himself deeper.

    Sooo… When you’re above sensorial pleasures but you still creepy AF?

    So you consider children sucking tongue to be a sensorial pleasure, not better

    Ok then, why did he do it? What did he hope to gain from it? What was his end goal?

    If it wasn’t for sexual pleasure, then explain the purpose.

    It’s all due to a mistranslation because of English not being his first language. It’s not “Suck my tongue”.

    The correct phrase in Tibetan for this joke is “Che le sa”, which roughly translates to “Eat my tongue.” English is the Dalai Lama’s second language and it’s well known that he speaks broken English at public events. 

    This display of affection was born out of a game played between the Tibetan elderly and children. Kids who go up to their grandfather, for instance, are asked to kiss their grandfather’s forehead, touch their noses and kiss them. 
    Then the grandfather says that I’ve given you everything so the only thing left is for you to eat my tongue.

    This whole thing is a cultural misunderstanding based on a mistranslation.
