A Geshe La is a title given to a scholar who has completed extensive studies in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Gelug school, and has passed rigorous examinations, often serving as a teacher or spiritual guide. In contrast, the Dalai Lama is a specific title held by the spiritual leader of the Gelug school and is considered a manifestation of the Bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara. The Dalai Lama is a highly revered figure and has broader responsibilities, including promoting peace and compassion worldwide, whereas a Geshe La primarily focuses on academic and monastic teachings.

What is Dali lama religion important to?

To be honest there is no such thing as Dalai Lama religion.

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.
