The Dalai Lama has publicly criticised the violence and murder carried out by Isis in Africa and the Middle East. Speaking at the Glastonbury festival on Sunday, the 80-year-old spiritual leader said, "A lot of problems we are experiencing are our own creations. Violence is being created this very moment in Syria, Iraq and Nigeria. Humans killing each other in the name of religious faith. Unthinkable. Carry the message of love and tolerance and forgiveness.
A crowd of more than 1,000 festival-goers gathered at the Stone Circle on Sunday morning to hear the Dalai Lama speak. As His Holiness arrived on stage, a spontaneous rendition of Happy Birthday rang out across Worthy Farm - even though it was not the Dalai Lama's birthday.
