The 83-year-old Buddhist monk, Tibetan spiritual leader and thorn in China's side was admitted to the Max hospital in the Indian capital on Tuesday.
TAIPEI – The Dalai Lama was discharged from a New Delhi hospital on Friday, his personal spokesperson said, three days after being admitted with what an aide called a "light cough".
On Thursday Taklha had said that the Nobel Peace Prize winner was already back to his "normal routine" and doing some exercise. In India, he set up a government-in-exile and launched a campaign to reclaim Tibet that gradually evolved into an appeal for greater autonomy - the so-called "middle way" approach.
But it has also drawn the fury of an increasingly assertive China, branding him a "wolf in a monk's robe" and accusing him of trying to split the nation. The Dalai Lama has sought to pre-empt any attempt by Beijing - which has effectively wiped out organised opposition to its rule in Tibet - to name his reincarnated successor, even announcing in 2011 that he may be the last in the lineage.
