    The religious leader of Tibetan Buddhism is called the Dalai Lama. The way that the Dalai Lama is chosen can seem very strange to those who do not know the religion. An example of this is when a Dalai Lama died and a five-year-old child was chosen as the next one. When he died, the monks found a boy who was born around the time of his death. When they placed objects that the previous Dalai Lama had owned, the child had said that the objects belonged to him. The boy was named…
