According to Entertainment News, Lady Gaga met the the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet to discuss, among other things, the importance of compassion, kindness and yoga.

Despite the celebratory nature of the event, China was not pleased. According to Reuters, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei referenced their meeting in a briefing, saying,

There is a broad consensus internationally about what kind of person the Dalai Lama is and what he does internationally... After the relevant incident happened, if you look at comments on the Chinese Internet, their anger has welled up.
