Dalai Lama, 90, to seek knee treatment in New Delhi

The Dalai Lama will undergo medical treatment on his left knee in New Delhi this month, his office said on Thursday, as the 90-year-old spiritual leader continues to navigate a string of health issues. He is due to travel to the Indian capital on Friday from his home-in-exile in Dharamshala, where followers typically hold elaborate prayers before any planned procedures. His office posted on X that he will receive treatment on his left knee and that he is expected to travel to India's Ladakh region by the end of June for an extended stay. The Nobel Peace Prize winner previously underwent knee surgery in New York in 2024, though he told Reuters months later it was “nothing serious,” and he now uses a golf cart for longer distances within his compound.
