Tibetian spiritual leader Dalai Lama will cut down on his foreign travel due to age and exhaustion, a spokesperson said on Thursday. "His Holiness is invited to different countries but he has cut down public engagements because of age. He is exhausted after teaching for a long period of time. Therefore a few commitments have been cancelled," said Sonam Dagpo, a spokesperson for the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). "The Dalai Lama's health is fine", Dagpo added, noting that the 82-year-old spiritual icon has made trips within India, where he lives in exile in Dharamshala.
