NEW DELHI - The Dalai Lama said on Saturday he is recovering from a knee surgery and feels "physically fit", brushing aside rumors of ill health on his 89th birthday."Recently I had surgery on my knee, which has given me some problem. However, I am recovering and have no problem at all now," the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet an Buddhism said in a video message from the United States, where he is recuperating.
He fled to India in 1959, nine years after China sent troops into the Himalayan region in 1950, saying it was liberating Tibetan "serfs".As the spiritual leader ages and battles health problems, the appointment of his successor has become a looming issue for Tibetans struggling for more autonomy in China or outright independence. Tibetan Buddhists believe that learned monastics are reincarnated after death as newborns.
