According to his current Title The 14th Dalai Lama (Mongolian for "Ocean of Wisdom"), then, thirteen Dalai Lamas have ruled Tibet before the current Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama is the spiritual and political leader of Tibet. Tibetan Buddhists have a system of recognizing lamas who have been reincarnated, such as the Dalai Lama. These are called Tulkus or Rimpoches, and they are recognized as having spiritual acumen. Lamas are recognized as having the spiritual authority to teach others. Monks can be lamas and/or rimpoches, and they enjoy respect and authority from lay people.
