NEPAL. Bodnath. Shechen monastery. Dec 5th, 1997, enthronement of Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche, born in Nepal on June 30, 1993 under the name Orgyen Tendzin Jigme Lhundrup. Reincarnation (or "Yangsi") of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's (1910-1991), one of the most revered Buddhist masters of this century. The Yangsi making fun of the television crew during the enthronement ceremony.
Two or three years after their death, important lamas are reincarnated in the body of a child. The search for this child is based on the information left by the lama himself: dreams, visions and the intuition of other lamas. The Tulkus are discovered at 3 or 4 years of age, declared at about 4 or 5 and then enter the monastery at the age of 6. According to the rules of the monastery, each Tulku is instructed by a tutor and is either prevented or restricted from seeing other young monks from their age group. All the Tulkus are called Rinpoche which means "the precious one".
