Dalai Lama in swine flu jape

Exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama jokes with his nasal spray after being asked for his opinion on the swine flu epidemic as he gave a lecture at a Swiss stadium.

The 74-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate said he was encouraged by growing solidarity and support Chinese people and intellectuals show for the Tibetan cause.



He spoke at a press conference in Switzerland where he is giving two days of public teachings on Buddhism.

The Dalai Lama said the international community should send investigators to Tibet for a thorough probe into the violent crackdown last year of Tibetan protests.
