Dalai Lama "suck my tongue" video draws mixed reaction: "No one is perfect"

There was mixed reaction among residents and tourists in India on Tuesday, after video from February surfaced that appeared to show the Dalai Lama kiss a young boy and ask him to "suck my tongue" at a public event.

Some members of the village of Dharamshala said the acts by the Dalai Lama were not out of the ordinary, while others said every person is prone to mistakes.

"We can go back into ourselves and our inner authority and not project it on other people and understand that no one is perfect and no one have all the answers," Shai, a tourist from Israel told reporters.

The Nobel peace laureate was also seen on the video giving the boy a brief peck on the lips, in the presence of an audience that can be heard clapping and laughing. He released a statement on Monday apologizing for his actions, saying he wished to apologize to the boy and his family, and for any hurt his words may have caused.
