Dalai Lama Named 154–169 Times In Epstein Documents; Office Confirms No Interaction

The Dalai Lama’s name appears 169 times in recently unsealed documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, prompting the spiritual leader’s office to issue a formal statement clarifying his position. The files, part of court proceedings and investigative records, have sparked media attention due to the volume of references.

In response, the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama emphasized that the Tibetan spiritual leader had no personal involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities. The statement described the mentions as “contextual references” in correspondence and events that Epstein had organized, rather than indications of any wrongdoing or direct connection.

The documents, which include emails, flight logs, and event schedules, list the Dalai Lama alongside numerous public figures, philanthropists, and leaders who were associated with Epstein through charitable events or social functions. Legal experts note that inclusion in the files does not imply culpability or participation in criminal acts.

Epstein, a financier who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, maintained a wide network of high-profile contacts. Investigators have since released substantial portions of his records, revealing the breadth of his social and financial engagements. Analysts stress that public figures often appear in such files due to incidental connections rather than direct involvement.

Media coverage of the Dalai Lama’s mentions has prompted clarifications from multiple organizations and news outlets, urging readers to distinguish between factual references and inferred associations. The statement from his office calls for careful reporting and contextual understanding, noting that the spiritual leader’s work has always focused on peace, compassion, and humanitarian efforts.

As the Epstein files continue to be scrutinized, the Dalai Lama’s office reaffirmed his commitment to his spiritual and humanitarian mission, urging the public to separate the broader context of the records from any assumptions about personal misconduct or involvement.
