In what way were the officials circumspect in their search for the next Dalai lama?
Well, honey, those officials were as cautious as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs when it came to finding the next Dalai Lama. They were being all sneaky and careful, like trying to find a needle in a haystack without poking themselves. Can't blame them though, picking the Dalai Lama is a big deal, like choosing the perfect avocado at the grocery store.

How would they pick another dalai lama?
Each Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama. After the death of the Dalai Lama a search is conducted by High Lamas of the Gelugpa Tradition to find the child into which the previous Dalai Lama was reincarnated into. They use visions, signs, dreams and tradition to guide their search for the child. Candidate children are tested to see if their traits are similar to that of the previous Dalai Lama. The successful candidate is then declared the next Dali Lama and his family are taken and trained in Buddhist traditions and knowledge. An interesting film you can watch on the process is called "Unmistaken Child."

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.

The reincarnation is then installed and trained by the other Lamas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalai_lama
