The term "Dalai Lama" originates from the Mongolian word "dalai," meaning "ocean," and the Tibetan word "lama," which refers to a spiritual teacher or guru. The title was first bestowed upon the third leader of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, Sonam Gyatso, in the 16th century. The Dalai Lama is regarded as the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and is believed to be the reincarnation of a line of tulkus who are manifestations of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion.
