In Tibetan Buddhism, the successive Dalai Lamas form a lineage of allegedly reborn (tulku) magistrates which traces back to 1391. They are of the Gelug sect of Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhists believe the Dalai Lama to be one of innumerable incarnations of Avalokiteśvara , the bodhisattva of compassion. Between the 17th century and 1959, the Dalai Lama was the head of the Tibetan government, administering a large portion of the country from the capital Lhasa. He is often styled "His Holiness" (HH) before his title. There have been 14 Dalai Lamas:

1. Gendun Drup 1391–1474
2. Gendun Gyatso 1475–1541
3. Sonam Gyatso 1543–1588
4. Yonten Gyatso 1589–1616
5. Lobsang Gyatso 1617–1682
6. Tsangyang Gyatso 1683–1706
7. Kelzang Gyatso 1708–1757
8. Jamphel Gyatso 1758–1804
9. Lungtok Gyatso 1806–1815
10. Tsultrim Gyatso 1816–1837
11. Khendrup Gyatso 1838–1856
12. Trinley Gyatso 1857–1875
13. Thubten Gyatso 1876–1933
