The Dalai Lama left a New Delhi hospital yesterday after three days of treatment for a chest infection, but the 83-year-old will need several days of rest before returning to his Himalayan base, his spokesman said. "He has recovered from the chest infection he had suffered from and will be taking several days of rest in Delhi before returning to Dharamsala," he added. The Tibetan spiritual leader was admitted to the Max hospital in the Indian capital on Tuesday.
