Dalai Lama not planning to attend Mandela's funeral | News | National | Mail & Guardian: "The Dalai Lama, who has twice since 2009 been denied a visa for South Africa, is not planning to attend his fellow Nobel laureate Nelson Mandela's funeral, his spokesperson said on Sunday.

"He has no plans to go," spokesperson Tenzin Takhla told Agence-France Presse in the northern Indian hilltop town of Dharamsala where the Tibetan spiritual leader is headquartered.

Takhla did not say why the Dalai Lama would not attend Mandela's national memorial service on Tuesday or the December 15 burial at his boyhood home of Qunu."
