Dalai Lama
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
The Dalai Lama's office has firmly denied any meeting with or connection to Jeffrey Epstein. While the Dalai Lama is referenced 157-169 times in the released Epstein files, the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama stated: 'We can unequivocally confirm that His Holiness has never met Jeffrey Epstein or authorized any meeting or interaction with him by anyone on His Holiness' behalf.' Most references in the files are generic mentions in press articles, Buddhist teachings, or administrative lists. Email correspondence from 2015-2017 shows Epstein and associates made unsuccessful attempts to arrange a meeting, but there is no evidence of actual contact or wrongdoing by the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama's office characterized recent reports as unfounded and fabricated.
