Thubten Gyatso (thub bstan rgya mtsho)
The Dalai Lama was born in Taktser, Qinghai and was selected as the rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama two years later, although he was only formally recognized as the 14th Dalai Lama on 17 November 1950, at the age of 15.
The 14th Dalai Lama is the current Dalai Lama. He was born in 1935 and he is still alive.
The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, did not attend a formal school in the traditional sense. He was identified as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama at a young age and received his education in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, focusing on Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and other spiritual teachings.
The current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was chosen through a traditional process of reincarnation. After the 13th Dalai Lama's death in 1933, Tibetan officials and lamas searched for his reincarnation, following signs and visions. In 1937, a young boy from a Tibetan village was identified as the reincarnation after passing various tests, including recognizing items belonging to the previous Dalai Lama. He was formally enthroned in 1940, becoming the 14th Dalai Lama.
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. As an avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion, his duty is to teach humanity the Dharma, which is the teaching of the Buddha (founder of Buddhism) and lead sentiment beings towards enlightment.

He was discovered in a small village in eastern Tibet, where he correctly identified items belonging to his predecessor. After this confirmation, he was officially enthroned in 1940.
