The 68th Grammy Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles on the 1st. The 90-year-old 'exiled spiritual leader' of Tibet, the Dalai Lama, won the award for 'Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording' for 'Meditation: Reflections from His Holiness the Dalai Lama.'
At a regular press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated that the Dalai Lama is not a purely religious figure, but a political exile engaged in anti-China separatist activities under the guise of religion. China firmly opposes the use of artistic awards as tools for anti-China political manipulation.
The Grammy Awards are among the most influential music awards in the world. Although the Dalai Lama did not personally attend the awards ceremony, he expressed through social media that he feels 'grateful and humbled' to receive the award.
