It is interesting to know that the Dalai Lama is not vegan or vegetarian. It actually surprised me to find out that he eats animals. In the following CNN interview Piers Morgan asks the Dalai Lama about his eating habits. MORGAN: Your Holiness, I want to get into your life and the kind of lifestyle that you lead because you’re a fascinating man in many ways. First of all, you were a vegetarian. But then you got bored with that and went back to meat. Is that right? DALAI LAMA: Yes, right. Of course, my early part of my life as in — under Tibetan, you see, our main diet non-vegetarian. Then after I came to India, 65, I give up eating meat and eggs and fish. Pure vegetarian. So, next, about 20 months, I remain that. Then some illness. The gallbladder, jaundice problem. So, I — my sort of face become yellow. And nails and eyes become yellow. So later, I jokingly telling people, at that time, I truly become living Buddha. (LAUGHTER) DALAI LAMA: Yellow, yellow person. (LAUGHTER) DALAI LAMA: So I really making sort of — making effort to promote vegetarianism, but I myself remain non-vegetarian.
