Dalai Lama is believed to be a Bodhisattva, not Buddha
The Dalai Lama is regarded by Tibetans as one of a succession of incarnations of the Buddha of compassion, Chenrezig ("the Seeing-Eye" Lord), who long has been considered to be the patron deity of Tibet. The current Dalai Lama, [[Tenzin Gyatso]] is the 14th incarnation of Chenrezig, and is both the head of state of Tibet and the spiritual leader of Tibetan [[Buddhism]] . His holiness has lived in exile in [[Dharamsala]], which is located in northern [[India]], since 1950. Dharamsala has been the seat of the Tibetan political administration since the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1949.
