I like Nelson and it's close, but I think the Dalai Lama just has a such a happy carefree presence that it has to be him for me. But I can see how others might choose otherwise.
I think the other poster is right, you meant teacher not prophet.
The Dalai Lama is a spiritual teacher as well as a leader, but not a prophet.
Nelson Mandela's actions are secularly motivated
"During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.[2] "

Mohammed was, well I won't get into that, but I don't like his historical actions nor do I consider him a prophet.

They all brought something good into the world. I guess. I haven't really read any of Muhammeds stuff, but the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela was for peace and love. Good people...

Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah and the last Prophet. No human being could be compared to Muhammad (PBUH).
Dalia Lama and Nelson Mandela are great persons respected by most people, but they fall toooooooooooooo short of Muhammad (PBUH) or whatever HE stands for.

By prophet I will assume you mean "teacher", because none of them are prophets.
Nelson Mandela.

None of them is a prophet at all. There was no need for anymore prophets after Jesus came and fulfilled his plan!
