In the shot, Obama—dressed in a business casual suit—looks calm with his hands intertwined and placed gently on his crossed legs. Meanwhile, the spiritual leader is seem is his traditional maroon garb with his hands in motion, clearly speaking about something important.

According to The Hill, the meeting comes after the Dalai Lama expressed concern over Donald Trump, previously saying he worries the U.S. is becoming more “selfish” and “nationalist.”

During his trip to New Delhi, Obama also reportedly offered advice about social media and suggested you “think before you tweet.” Michelle Obama delivered a similar message earlier this week.
