Dalai Lama resting after hospital visit

By Tricycle

The Dalai Lama is doing well and resting after being released from the hospital where he was treated for what is variously described as a slipped disc, pinched nerve, and arm pain. An aide says doctors described his condition as “nothing serious.” He is expected to travel to Germany and Italy (but not the Vatican) this week.

Tricycle is the leading independent journal of Buddhism in the West, where it continues to be the most inclusive and widely read vehicle for the dissemination of Buddhist views and values. By remaining unaffiliated with any particular teacher, sect, or lineage, Tricycle provides a public forum for exploring Buddhism and its dialogue with the broader culture.
