mahayana enlightenment nirvana dalai-lama

                          Assuming the result of enlightenment is attainment of Nirvana, and assuming Dalai Lama is enlightened, why does he keep on getting reborn?

Could it mean that Nirvana means something else, for example a state of egolessness while still a person on planet Earth?
