[[Image:DalaiLama.jpg|right|thumb|Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama]]
The '''Dalai Lama''' is regarded by [[Tibet]]an [[Buddhists]] as one of a succession of [[incarnations]] of the [[Bodhisattva]] of compassion, Chenrezig ("the Seeing-Eye" Lord), who long has been considered to be the patron [[deity]] of [[Tibet]]. Custom dictates that only the [[Panchen Lama]] can recognize the reincarnation of the next Dalai Lama, and vice versa.
