New Delhi, Nov 21 : Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama has said he was contemplating retirement within months and a final decision on it will be taken after consultations with the political leadership and Parliament-in-exile.
The 76-year-old leader, who has been living in India in exile since 1959, expressed hope that he could return to his homeland before his death.
"I think within next six months," the Tibetan leader in a television interview, when asked whether he was retiring as was being speculated.
He, however, promptly added that "I do not know. May be next few months. I think may be."
The Dalai Lama said he will firm up his decision on retirement after discussions with the Tibetan Parliament-in-exile.
"I want to inform them about my intention although I briefly mentioned (about it) already," he said.
