The Dalai Lama is not the name of the person. It is like the Pope. The Pope is called the Pope, but it is not his actually name. Anyways, the current Dalai Lama is chosen the Dalai Lama because the Thirteenth Dalai Lama had a spiritual vision that he dreamed of. Those visions gave him and his trustees clues onto who the next Dalai Lama will be. Eventually, those clues and sights led to the current Dalai Lama when he was a little kid.
