In Mahayana Buddhism, an enlightened person has the option of entering Nirvana after death, or of returning to the cycle of death and rebirth to guide others to enlightenment. The Dalai Lama is believed by his devotees to be the latest reincarnation of a long line of tulkus who descend from the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara who return to further the enlighten ment of mankind.
