Vague Question: I'm guessing the answer you are looking for is the Dali 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."

The Dalai Lama has long been considered the secular (nonreligious) leader of Tibet although that has recently changed as the Dalai Lama would like the people of Tibet to have a democratically elected leader.
