The title "Dalai Lama" is presently granted to each of the spiritual leader's successive incarnations (for example, The 14th Dalai Lama's next incarnation will hold the title "the 15th Dalai Lama"). In the Himalayan tradition, phowa (Tibetan) is the discipline that transfers the mindstream to the intended body. Upon the death of the Dalai Lama and consultion with the Nechung Oracle, a search for the Lama's reincarnation, or yangsi (yang srid), is conducted. Familiarity with the possessions or attributes of the previous Dalai Lama is considered the main sign of the tulku. The search for the reincarnated mindstream typically requires a number of years. The reincarnation is then installed and trained by the other Lamas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalai_lama

How was the Dalai Lama discovered?
The Dalai Lama is born as such but must be found. The current Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama and ultimately the reincarnation or a manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion . He was born two years after his last incarnation ended.Senior Tibetan monks recieve information during meditation which helps them track down the new Dalai Lama. They have a secret set of criteria which they use to determine whether the child they have tracked down is the Dalai Lama.

Whats the dalai lama's name?
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet's name is Tenzin Gyatso. But he has decided to step down. If the government excepts this, he will no longer be the Dalai Lama. He thinks that it will strengthen the government and modernize it. I will be sad but I respect whatever he decides!
How was the dalai lama chosen?
The Dalai Lama is not chosen to become what he is, (Like Popeye) he is what he is and has been that for fourteen reincarnations. The position is not an elected or appointed office. In Buddhism an enlightened person can refuse to enter Nirvana, choosing instead to return to the cycle of death and rebirth to help others become enlightened. The current Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama and ultimately the reincarnation or a manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Avalokiteśvara. After the death of the existing Dalai Lama the problem is to find where the reincarnation has occurred. This is usually expected to be in Tibet. The search is the responsibility of the High Lamas of the Gelugpa Tradition and the government of Tibet. It can take around two or three years (or more) to identify the new incarnation of the Dalai Lama. The High Lamas conduct several rituals to increase the odds of finding the reincarnation quickly. They look for omens and seek hintsin their dreams. They also devise tests for candidates they feel may be the reincarnation. Familiarity with the possessions of the previous Dalai Lama is considered the main sign of the reincarnation. Having been found, the child is brought to Lhasa (or a similar location) for training in Buddhist thought and knowledge The current Dalai Lama is was born Tenzin Gyasto
What does a Buddhist have to do if they sin?
"Sin" is not a Buddhist concept. Sin implies a contravention of a divine law, Buddhism has no gods to pass down such rules. The closest you might get is, in the words used by the Dalai Lama, to be "unskillful" in running your life.
Why is Potala Palace famous?
It is famous because Songtsan Gambo built it for a woman he was soon to marry. It was burnt down, and rebuilt by the Fifth Dalai Lama. It is now a World Heritage Site, a place of religious study and Buddhist prayer, and a museum.
What happens When the dalai lama dies?
Simply put; when his HH's old physical body dies it will break down but his mind will leave that body during the dying process. In due course his mind will migrate to a new body at the point that potential for life is created.
