Dalai Lama denies Epstein meeting amid China’s Tibet infrastructure push and protests over Czech visit. Tibetan Buddhist leader since 1950s.
The Dalai Lama's office refutes social media claims linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, citing no meetings or interactions. Newly released emails suggest Epstein sought a dinner with the spiritual leader in 2015, but the Dalai Lama remains uninvolved. The controversy arises amid broader tensions over Tibet's autonomy and the Dalai Lama's exile status.
