Tulku Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche-the Little Buddha or Little Lama
The Buddhists of Petaling Jaya and all surrounding areas had a rare honor when Tulku Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche, four years old, came to town. He is revered across the world and many believe him to be the reincarnation of the late Great Mahasiddha Geshe Lama Konchong, a highly revered Buddhist master of the 20th century who died in 2001.
He was found after an exhaustive search for the reincarnated Geshe Lama Konchog which ended in a remote valley of the Himalayas. His reincarnation was officially recognised last year and he was ordained in India by the 14th Dalai Lama.
The devotees caught a glimpse of him during a public lecture entitled The Tradition of Reincarnation, at the Losang Dragpa Buddhist Centre here. He was carried by a monk and blessed all present.
I often wonder how it feels like to have one’s destiny all nicely map out at this young an age.
