Dalai Lama leaves US clinic after ‘routine’ health check

Tibet's exiled Buddhist spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has left the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., after what his office called a routine annual check-up, hospital officials said on Wednesday.
The 80-year-old Nobel Peace Laureate canceled planned visits in the United States in October at the advice of doctors who urged him to rest for several weeks, his office said in a statement on Friday. His office gave no indication that he was ill nor any details about his state of health.
