The Dalai Lama has left hospital in the Indian capital, Delhi, nearly a week after undergoing surgery to remove gallstones.

A spokesman for the Tibetan spiritual leader said he was now fully recovered.

The 73-year-old Nobel peace laureate has been advised by doctors to cut down on foreign travel and to rest more. He complained of stomach pains in August.

The Dalai Lama has lived in Dharamsala, in northern India, since fleeing Tibet after an abortive uprising in 1959.

2. He will be here in Japan in two weeks

3. You should like that. He has a great sense of humor and is a wonderful speaker.

I had the opportunity to see him in Houston at Rice University way back in the early 1990s (or maybe it was '89, not sure now.) I can't say I remember a whole lot of it now, only that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him and the experience of it :)

4. Wellstone introduced him in Minnesota years ago

to see the two of them on one stage that night....I feel pretty lucky.

5. Swift and gentle healing, your holiness. The beings on this planet need you for as long as possible.

Namaste.
