Garchen Rinpoche is incredible! He thinks he's an average person, but anybody who looks at him feels, WOW, there's something amazing about this person. Hahahaha, Garchen Rinpoche is best teacher, his students are the best students~
The Tsem Tulku Organization runs wwwdorjeshugdencom, they are also the ones dropping DS pamphlets all over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. People who leave the organization or otherwise find out their secret are subject to abuse and death threats. Kechara House is a dangerous cult that has betrayed His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan Community, and most of all, Gaden Shartse Monastery. Please circulate this information far and wide.
My teacher, Kyabje Garchen Rinpoche, is a Tulku. I really couldn't care less if this is true or not, certainly it is beyond my power to prove. I only know he is profound and compassionate. I know I was lost before I met him. I know he is my heart.
I am quite interested in mahayana buddhism and looking forward of learning more of it, but have to so far I consider whole tulku system - especially the ones in the west - fishy and irresponsible.
You need to register the film on IMDB. If the film has an official site and you've screened it at film festival, then you can and should certainly register it at IMDB. Not to do so is professional suicide. A film doesn't really *exist* until it is registered on IMDB
To be recognized as a tulku is a choice on the part of the incarnation. Some rimpoches chose not to be recognized because they want to be away from politics, responsibilities and lack of time for their own spiritual advancement. I know of some that spent lifetime meditating or mingle with society. Others chose visibly to uphold the lineage. Both are valid.
so where is film?? So what will you do guys?? Tulku system has positive and negative side..can give power to wrong ones,develop small confusion..or make much stronger real boddhisatwa..make them again the nature of..everything..give them best methods to realize the nature of mind fast..later they could show something really special..btw in comparison to Vajrayana Masters the Jesus was just a funny beginner ;-) So don`t sleep! meditate!
Enjoy mind, enjoy space & light, develop full potential!!!
Well, you just have to see what the Tulkus system creates: 2 Karmapas, 3 Dudjom Rinpoches, etc, etc, People confused, great Lamas confronting each other... sects, sects and more sects...
"The tulku system can be the ruin of Buddhism" when he said that, tears were welling up, but then he said "Who cares about tulkus anyway?" ---- this was just a mere "please give me money" -- the usual thing
Rinpoche cautions "This tulku system will be the ruin of Buddhism ... who cares about them?!", and yet bla-blah here snuggles up with "How can I contact these tulku?"
And that, my friends, is a snapshot of our reality.
super easy, you just check wich thibetan buddist center with a rinpoche teaching is closest to you, than you just go to listen to their course and speak to them eventually
Why hasnt Kundan ever been a Nun. Every life Kundan has been a Monk. Poor old Dorje Shungon, maybe Dorje just wants Kundan to be a Nun. Anyways i hope Tulkus can become a part of western culture.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You know the concept of the Tulku is BS.. It is a way to maintain power within the Tibetan ruling class.. I mean really.. The greatest master of the Nyingma lineage is Chatral Rinpoche, yet he is not recognized as a tulku.. He doesn't have the family connections for such a judgement.
here's a conceptual quandry for you
"if we have lived infinite lives, how is it possible for us to have different karma?"
So why is these western tulkus coming up now? Are they part of the Tibetan ruling class? Chantral Rinpoche is a great example that some one that is not a Tulku can be a Great teacher, recognised as such and lineage holder... But who knows? maybe he does come back as a crazy western kid... Because one thing is necessary to true spiritual practice is energy and honesty, those two qualities can be wild when one is a teen...
@crazedmystic OH MY GOD YOU'RE MINDBLOWING. OMG. WHAT A CONUNDRUM. ITS LIKE, IF WE'VE ALL WALKED FOR AN HOUR SHOULDN'T WE BE AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT. IT WORKS ON SO MANY LEVELS. YOU ARE BRILLIANT GUY. XO.
@crazedmystic I think, in answer to your query...that with each reincarnation, we create a new or different karma which will reveal itself in the next life.....I don't think there is one karma that follows you throuhjout. We are constantly altering our karma; present & future. _/\_
@crazedmystic becuase we have different minds. the cause of my birth cant be the cause of yours. just becuase we have had beginningless lives doesn't somehow mean our karma should ripen at exactly the same time. cause and effect is extremely difficult to understand
"tulku" is a just a shortened word for nirmana-kaya. The first of three bodies of the Buddha (Buddha is the awakened Mind). The nirmana-kaya is not a real Buddha nor does he preach the Dharma. The Buddha as he appears to ordinary minds is the nirmana-kaya. The true Buddha is the Dharma-kaya, i.e., the fundamental body (i.e., the absolute).
How are you planning on releasing this Gesar? Are you aiming for a certain date? Now that you've given us this teaser, all signs are good that you are nearing completion on this project, and we wait with expectant anticipation.

Buddha left; and so did his knowledge (theory & practice) of enlightenment.
After so much time has passed, the kaliyuga 'darkness' of ignorance descends again and, confusion and folly remain to take their place.

No I did not forget to play with the kids.
You should try doing so yourself; then you may come realize just how childish is this Buddhist bull.
It was from playing with the kids that can allow one to make the unmistakable connection of Buddhism and childish play. lol
I only feel for the people of Tibet, who have been misled by lost Lamas, right into the communist clutches of the Chinese.

It's very TRUE who cares about Tulkus!
Some Tulkus go and become great 'masters' others take on the west in a different way.
