Penpa Tsering is in the news as Tibet’s Sikyong, leading the exile government. Born 1967, he’s the key voice for Tibetan self-rule.

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.
