Original Note:
The "teasing" that @DalaiLama is referring to is from a video where he asked a boy to suck on his tongue. https://twitter.com/TheInsiderPaper/status/1645374260150403074 Though sticking one's tongue out is a Tibetan form of respect, that doesn't involve sucking. https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/issue-13/Bernard/photo/tibetan-greeting https://www.npr.org/2023/04/10/1168962589/dalai-lama-apologizes-tongue-kiss
