The best-selling author of T"he Healing Power of Mind" presents a
historical overview and detailed explanation of the phenomenon of
incarnate enlightened beings, known as "tulkus" in Tibetan. A
tulku, out of kindness for beings, is born again and again as a
teacher who dedicates his or her life to serving others,
specifically through sharing the teachings of the Buddha. He or she
is usually recognized by those well-trained friends and students
who were close to the previous incarnation and who have the
appropriate insight to recognize their deceased master in the form
of a very young child. Throughout the history of Tibetan Buddhism,
tulkus have been the standard-bearers of the tradition and
providers of spiritual and social guidance for both the ordained
and the lay people of that culture.
The book covers the following topics: the fundamental principle of
the tulku; the three kinds of tulkus; the methods for recognizing
tulkus; stories of tulkus' miracles and clairvoyance; the goals
fulfilled by them; the roles tulkus have played in history; and the
attainments they have displayed at death.
