The Dalai Lama commented on Tiger Woods' sex scandals, saying self-discipline is among Buddhism's highest values, one day after Woods said he had strayed from his Buddhist faith.

u00a0Tibet's exiled spiritual leader told The Associated Press during a brief interview in his hotel suite yesterday that he had not heard of Woods, but when the circumstances were explained to him he said that when it comes to adultery, "all religions have the same idea." "Whether you call it Buddhism or another religion, self-discipline, that's important," he said. "Self-discipline with awareness of consequences."
