The Dalai Lama’s office has issued a firm clarification after viral posts claimed links to Jeffrey Epstein following the release of new investigation documents. The files contain thousands of references, emails, and contact mentions involving public figures — but officials emphasize that appearing in records does not imply wrongdoing or personal association.

Tibetan monks-in-exile celebrated the 90th birthday of the 14th Dalai Lama in Shimla with heartfelt prayers for his health and long life. The ceremony symbolised unity and cultural pride among Tibetans.
