Dali Lam The Reincarnation Of The Dali Lama

Kundun is the name given to the fourth teen Dali Lama who is the reincarnation of the previous Dali Lamas who is said to be the embodiment of the Buddha of compassion. In Buddhism is said that the Dali Lama is the reincarnation of the same spirit. The Dali Lama plays an important role in leading the people of Tibet and dealing with its affairs.
