Abstract

According to Tibetan Buddhist doctrine, the Dalai Lamas are physical manifestations of the bodhisattva of compassion, Chenrezi. This bodhisattva created the incarnational lineage fro the benefit of Tibetans in particular, but the present incumbent (Tenzin Gyatso, born Hlamo Tondrup in 1935) has also become an international figure and gives teachings all over the world.
