Dalai Lama Hospitalized in Bombay

BOMBAY, India Looking weak but still smiling, the Dalai Lama was
admitted into a Bombay hospital Sunday after doctors detected a lump in his
stomach.
Wearing his red Buddhist robe, the supreme leader of Tibetan Buddhists
walked into Lilawati Hospital with the help of aides.
"The Dalai Lama is cheerful and talking to his associates," Prakash Mhatre,
a director at Lilawati Hospital, said later.
Mhatre said doctors were taking X-rays and conducting ultrasound and blood
tests. He said test results were expected Monday.
The Dalai Lama, 66, had undergone a medical checkup at the same hospital in
early December. "He was found to be completely normal then," Mhatre said.
The Dalai Lama was earlier flown to Bombay in a private airplane from
Patna, the capital of the eastern state of Bihar, with two federal
government officials, his close aides and doctors.
He was taken to Patna in a government helicopter from the religious hub of
Gaya, where health problems forced him to cancel his engagements at the
most sacred worship ceremony of Tibetan Buddhists.
The Tibetan spiritual leader had been complaining of abdominal pain and
exhaustion and was examined by a team of doctors in a Buddhist monastery in
Bodhgaya, where he had been staying since last week, said Masood Butt, his
press coordinator. It then was decided he would fly to Bombay.
A member of the medical team, A.M. Rai, said the Dalai Lama had a lump in
his stomach, but gave no further details.
On Thursday, the Dalai Lama postponed his teachings before tens of
thousands of followers at a special service. He said he would not be able
to finish the rituals, which require him to sit still for at least five hours.
The Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959 with thousands of supporters after a
failed uprising against China. Since then, he has headed a
government-in-exile in the northern Indian town of Dharmsala. He was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his nonviolent struggle against
Chinese rule.

Thanks for the post. I read today that he is leaving the hospital and did
not, in fact, have a lump at all. Some member of his medical team mistakenly
said that. Thank goodness :-)
