A lot? Yes...there is a lot of Lamas. But isnt there suppose to
be only one Dalai Lama?
Upon the death of the Dalai Lama, his monks institute a search
for the Lama's reincarnation, or yangsi (yang srid), a small child.
Familiarity with the possessions of the previous Dalai Lama is
considered the main sign of the reincarnation. The search for the
reincarnation typically requires a few years.
The current Dalai Lama has repeatedly stated that he will never
be reborn inside territory controlled by the People's Republic of
China [1], and has occasionally suggested that he might choose to
be the last Dalai Lama by not being reborn at all. However, he has
also stated that the purpose of his repeated incarnations is to
continue unfinished work and, as such, if the situation in Tibet
remains unchanged, it is very likely that he will be reborn to
finish his work
Does it mean there is no future Dalai Lama's?
It is also worth mentioning that the 14th Dalai Lama has stated
"Personally, I feel the institution of the Dalai Lama has served
its purpose.
Can anyone explain the concept of Dalai Lama?
