A title, which means "Ocean of Wisdom," given by a Mongol leader to the head of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. It is interesting to notice that in Hebrew "wisdom" is Chokmah, the Son, and that the initiates of the Straight Path incarnate the Christ (Chokmah, Wisdom) who is the same as Vishnu in Hinduism, the same as Avalokiteshvara. The Dalai Lamas are the lineage of spiritual and temporal leaders of Tibet, begun in the 14th century by Tsong Khapa. They are chosen by investigations into their inner identity, which is always determined by qualified lamas or priests. There have been fourteen Dalai Lamas.

"The Dalai Lamas have not always integrated completely with Divinity. However, the Dalai Lamas are adepts in the complete sense of the word." - Samael Aun Weor.

In The Story of Tibet, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama said, "If someone asks me whether I am the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama," he said, "Then I answer, without hesitation, yes. This does not mean that I am the same being as the previous Dalai Lama. Some Dalai Lamas are a manifestation of Mahjushri. Some are a manifestation of Chenrizi... I have a special connection with the Thirteenth Dalai Lama and the Fifth Dalai Lama. I have felt some kind of karmic relations or connections even with the Buddha... we might have been born in the same time during a past life; a teacher and a student; or a ruler and a subject or we might even have been spiritual friends."
