  Dalai Lama - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
The Dalai Lama is often thought to be the head of the Gelug (dge lugs), but this position officially belongs to the Ganden Tripa (dga' ldan khri pa) (Holder of the Throne of Ganden (dga' ldan), the first monastery established by Tsong Khapa, founder of the Gelug (dge lugs)).
Dalai Lama was appointed by the Yongzheng Emperor of China as the legal ruler of Tibet and its Head of State.
The Dalai Lamas are believed to be manifestations of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, whose name is Chenrezig (spyan ras gzigs) in Tibetan, though Tenzin Gyatso (brtan 'dzin rgya mtsho) denies claims of his Buddhahood.

 Dalai Lama (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dalai Lama is a song by the band Rammstein, released in 2004 on the album Reise, Reise.
The band apparently considered calling the song "Erlkönig" in homage to Goethe's poem.
The song updates the storyline of Erlkönig, replacing the poem's travelling man and child on horseback with a man and child on an aircraft, and replacing the Erlkönig himself with the "king of all the winds".

 Amazon.com: Ethics for the new millennium: Books: Dalai Lama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Dalai Lama begins by recognizing that religion is no longer providing an ethical compass for the majority of us, and ends by recommending a world parliament of religions (just as some believe a world parliament of cultures is also needed to represents nations without states).
In essence, the Dalai Lama calls for each person to restore their spiritual base, either by honoring their chosen religion, or by adopting a personal ethical philosophy that is consistent with the generic teachings of various religions.
The Dalai Lama doesn't go on at length about idealizing this planet or how great it is. He says it is where we live, and therefore, we must take good care of it and encourage global stewardship.

 Tsangyang Gyatso, The Rebel Dalai Lama | Friends of Tibet (INDIA)
Tsangyang Gyatso, who was enthroned with grand ceremony as the Sixth Dalai Lama on the golden throne in the Potala palace in 1697, was a special Dalai Lama.
Extraordinary as a lover of wine and women, melodious as a singer of love songs and above all, tragic as a national hero of the status of a Dalai Lama, reduced to become a heroic pawn at the hands of the Qosot Lhazang Khan, the Sixth Dalai Lama became a legend within his short lifetime.
No one understood the hidden meaning contained in the song nor did anyone suspect that the young Dalai Lama had decided to end his earthly manifestation and yield the Tibetan spiritual and temporal realm to the care of the next Dalai Lama.

 Dadawa : Voices from the Sky - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Dadawa herself takes a more upfront role in the singing than before from the start, while the pace of the songs is just that subtly a bit more quicker, in contrast to the generally slow, awe-inspiring swoop of Sister Drum at its start.
The sense of Dadawa being something of a Chinese Enya crops up again on certain songs, such as her multitracked vocals on "The Believer," but the overall concept and project is still something unique.
"The Believer" itself, for itself, is described not a love song but 'a soul of a believer crying out against the strictures of religious dogma' -which when one considers the Peking government's continuing campaign to eradicate the power of the lamas in Tibet has an unfortunately chilling corollary.
