The Dalai Lama is a very controversial figure.
In 2023, the Dalai Lama faced controversy after an incident in which he kissed a young boy on the lips and then asked him to "suck his tongue" during a public event. This sparked widespread criticism and accusations of inappropriate behavior. However, the Dalai Lama and his representatives later clarified that the incident was meant to be playful and that there was no inappropriate intention behind it. The situation led to discussions about cultural differences and the responsibilities of public figures.

The worry happens when you're uncertain if you can do something about the situation. Certainty brings a lot of peace of mind if you can manage it.
