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.

What is Dali lama religion important to?

To be honest there is no such thing as Dalai Lama religion. The Dalai Lama between the 17th century and 1959 was in fact the title of the head political figure of the Tibetan government as well as the country's foremost religious figure. The current Dalai Lama is the 14th Dalai Lama in the line. However, each new Dalai Lama is chosen as being seen as a reincarnation (born again) of the previous Dalai Lama. The religion you may be thinking of is Buddhism; the religion practiced by the Dalai Lama and his followers.
