RATING:B+
I
found the introduction to be very interesting. It clarified and
cemented some of my questions and understandings. I recognize the
preference for ordinary lay practitioners to be able to continue
under the guidance of those who have known them and their practice
previously, let alone that of returning masters, senior monks, and
realized teachers, so the entire Tulku system is of great interest to
me.
This book was published in 1997, some
time ago now. Within 2 days of my having finished reading the book,
there was news online concerning the current situation in Tibet
referent to the Tulku system - with a new problem possibly arising
courtesy of the Chinese governments' interference with this long
standing process. The fact that the Chinese do not respect the Tulku
system poses the danger that Tulkus under the age of 18 might not be
able to continue to reside in their own monasteries for much longer,
should the Chinese invaders choose to implement their control. (REF:
