Dalai Lama (Song) Dalai Lama is a song by the band Rammstein, released in 2004 on the album Reise, Reise. Sung entirely in German, it is an adaptation of Erlkönig, a poem written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1782 and subsequently set to music by Franz Schubert in 1816. The band apparently considered calling the song "Erlkönig" in homage to Goethe's poem. "Flugangst" ("fear of flying", or more loosely "flight fright") was also considered as a name before Rammstein settled on "Dalai Lama" in reference to the current Dalai Lama's well-publicised dislike of air travel. Other than this somewhat oblique reference, the song does not have anything to do with Tibetan Buddhism or the Dalai Lama.
Tsangyang Gyatso, 6th Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso, Wylie transliteration: (Tshang dbyang Rgya mtsho), (1683-15 November 1706) was the sixth Dalai Lama. He was a Monpa by ethnicity.

Long Life Prayer For His Holiness The Dalai Lama The Long Life Prayer for His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a common prayer by both Tibetian Buddhists living in Tibet, and those living abroad. There is a short version and a longer version.
Long version in English:
Yonten Gyatso, 4th Dalai Lama Yonten Gyatso was the 4th Dalai Lama, (1589-1616). As a descendant of the people of Mongolia, he was the only non-Tibetan to be recognized as Dalai Lama, and that after extended debate among his contemporaries.
Thubten Gyatso, 13th Dalai Lama Thubten Gyatso (1876-1933), sometimes spelled Thupten Gyatso, was the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet. He was an intelligent reformer who proved himself a skillful politician when Tibet became a pawn in the great game between Russia, China, and Britain. He was also responsible for restoring discipline in monastic life and increasing the number of lay officials to avoid excessive power being placed in the hands of the monks.
