The Dalai Lama was rushed to a hospital Tuesday with a chest infection.
The 83-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader was in stable condition but will need to remain in the hospital for two to three days for treatment, an aide said.
“Today morning his holiness felt some discomfort and he was flown to Delhi for a check-up,” said his personal secretary Tenzin Taklha.
The Buddhist monk, who fled occupied Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule, lives in the northern Indian hill town of Dharamshala. Many of the close to 100,000 Tibetans who live in India fear that their fight for a homeland will end once the Dalai Lama dies.
