Yes, a new Dalai Lama can be recognized before the current one passes away, though traditionally, the search for a new Dalai Lama begins after the current one’s death. The process involves a series of rituals and signs that lead to the identification of the reincarnation. However, the current Dalai Lama has indicated that he may choose to leave instructions for his succession or even consider the institution's future, depending on the circumstances surrounding Tibet and its people.
