The Dalai Lama said he was an admirer of Patti Smith and her band.

“I very much appreciate those singers and musicians – most of you with white hair,” he said.

“That voice and physical action looks very beautiful.

“That gives me encouragement. Myself, now 80 years old, I should be more like you.”
