An audience of students at Brown University in Rhode Island, were surprised when at the end of a speech on world peace, the Dalai Lama appeared to utter the "F" word.
The Buddhist spiritual leader's thick Tibetan accent led
to confusion at the end of his talk when he pronounced "forget" in his
traditional manner, but the crowd burst into laughter— they thought he
swore, saying "f--- it."
Caption screens in the auditorium were showing subtitles of the event, and a stenographer transcribing the speech also appeared to think His Holiness had uttered the words, 'F**k it'.
The exiled Tibetan leader was in fact urging listeners to share his
thoughts with others if they found them interesting. If not, he said,
they could “forget.”
'If you feel these points
are not much relevant - not much interest - then forget.'
