How to find the Dalai Lama
To start the search, High Lamas may have a vision or dream.
If
the previous Dalai Lama was cremated, they watch the direction of the smoke to indicate the direction of rebirth.Slide12
They often meditate at
Lhamo La-Tso
, central Tibet's holy lake, and wait for a vision or indication of the direction in which to search. This relates to a belief that the female guardian spirit of the lake promised the first Dalai Lama that she would protect the reincarnation lineage Slide13
When these visions have been followed up and a boy found, there are a series of tests to ensure that he is the rebirth.
There
is a secret set of criteria against which the child is assessed
.
In addition to this, the main test consists of presenting the boy with a number of items to see if he can select those which belonged to the previous Dalai Lama.Slide14
The boy and his family are taken to Lhasa, where the boy can study the Buddhist sutra to relearn knowledge accumulated in previous lives in preparation for spiritual leadership.Slide15
