When people talk about the people who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s home, most expect to hear the names of billionaires, politicians, and businessmen. But recently, one name stood out and shocked many — the Dalai Lama.
A Surprising Name On The Guest List
This unusual detail came to light when a journalist recalled meeting him at Epstein’s Manhattan home. The journalist explained that many people visited Epstein not for friendship but for money. Epstein was known for giving donations and financial help, and this made his gatherings attractive to those seeking support for causes or organizations.
The Dalai Lama’s office has not answered questions about this claim. It is also not confirmed if his visit was linked to financial donations. But this is not the first time the spiritual leader has been connected to controversial figures who provided funding.
Eyewitnesses described Epstein’s home as more than just a residence. Expensive interiors, famous faces, and constant discussions created an atmosphere that many found hard to ignore. Being seen there was a statement of power and access, even if it later carried risks.
Past Links With Controversial Donations
Years earlier, the Dalai Lama appeared at an event run by a group later exposed as a harmful cult. Reports said he was paid for attending. His appearance was arranged by people close to him. One of his close aides was later removed from his role.
He faced accusations of corruption and financial misconduct.

The idea of religious or cultural leaders accepting funds from questionable sources is not new. Wealthy figures often used donations to gain respect, legitimacy, or to attach themselves to high-profile names. Epstein, despite his criminal record, was deeply involved in such tactics.
For years, people wondered how Epstein made his money and why billionaires and institutions allowed him to move in elite circles. He was linked to large transfers of money, questionable financial dealings, and donations that often came with secrecy.
A Hidden Web Of Money And Influence
Investigations have shown that Epstein often used donations as a tool to buy influence and credibility. Universities, institutes, and cultural organizations received funds through him directly or through channels connected to him. Some donations were disguised to hide their origin, and in certain cases, money linked to Epstein reached spiritual and educational projects.
One example was a donation that ended up at a Buddhist institute connected to a well-known university. Records showed that the funds originally came from an Epstein-related foundation. The donation was small compared to his other dealings, but it raised questions about why he directed money there and who encouraged it.
Further reports revealed that the donation was made through a nonprofit group that existed for only a short time. This nonprofit had ties to people in Epstein’s circle, including associates accused of misconduct. The trail of money showed how Epstein created complex paths for his funds, making it harder to trace their true source.

Epstein’s connections stretched into many areas — politics, science, education, and philanthropy. He often surrounded himself with respected names to make himself appear legitimate. His gatherings brought together famous leaders, thinkers, and wealthy elites. Many who were seen at his home later insisted they had no idea of his crimes.
The story of the Dalai Lama’s visit highlights how Epstein managed to draw even the most unexpected figures into his orbit. Whether through the lure of donations or the pull of high-society gatherings, he created a network where money, influence, and prestige were constantly exchanged.
