Fourteen Dalai Lamas have ruled in Tibet. That is not my opion, it is a fact.
If the 6th Dalai Lama was the same with the 5th Dalai Lama, then there is only one who had been reincarnating life-after-life. According to his current Title The 14th Dalai Lama (Mongolian for "Ocean of Wisdom"), then, thirteen Dalai Lamas have ruled Tibet before the current Dalai Lama. Pram Nguyen

Tibetan Buddhism is Buddhism practiced in Tibet and the Himalayan region. There are many sects (Nyingma, Kagyü, Sakya and Gelu) each with their own leader and no overall leader.

At the age of two, Tenzin Gyatso was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. Thirteen years later, in 1950, he was enthroned as the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Nechung Oracle was his oracle, and the official state oracle for Tibet. The Nechung Oracle had predicted that the 14th Dalai Lama would lose his country. He also predicted that the Dalai Lama would lose his life if he didn't leave in 1959. For that year, there was an attempt to end nine years of Chinese occupation. The uprising failed, and the Chinese eliminated the resistance movement. Though himself a Hindu, Indian Prime Minister Nehru let the Dalai Lama set up a government-in-exile just across the Tibet-India border, in Dharmsala. For Dharmsala already had an established Tibetan community, and established Buddhist monasteries. It has been predicted that if the Dalai Lama lives to be 100, he will get his country back.
