#3 – The Selection of the Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama is not chosen via democracy or any other political system. The Dalai Lama is sought by looking for the reincarnated version of the last president. This dates back to 1500s when the Mongols at that time first appointed a monk as the president and started looking for the reincarnated version of the last president. A monk who gains mystical powers from not eating experiences a supernatural dream and then directs the head monks to look for the reincarnated version.
