Jalue Dorjee (born 2006-2007) is known as Minnesota's "Little Lama", who in Tibetan Buddhism is regarded as the reincarnation of the late lama Taksham Neuden Dorjee. It is extremely rare for a lama to be discovered in the West. When Jalue's mother was pregnant, a lama who was visiting the Twin Cities had a dream about her child and this led to a divination ritual to determine his identity.

Jalue currently attends third grade at Highland Elementary School in Columbia Heights. Jalue has said that his classmates "treat me like I’m just a normal kid," and that they have heard he is a lama but don't always know what that means.
