Reincarnation is still banned in China, Randall, but it isn't banned in Minnesota...  Minnesota is home to the second-largest Tibetan population in the country. quote:
Minnesota's first 'little lama' studies Buddhist faith (and loves Pokemon)A Minnesota boy believed by many to be a reincarnated lama takes a key step along his predestined path. By Allie Shah Star Tribune | April 30, 2016 — 3:50pm The little lama was on the cusp of a very big moment.
All week, the 9-year-old monk — believed by many Tibetan Buddhists to be a reincarnated guru — had been preparing to deliver his first public speech. Finally, on a rainy night in St. Paul, Jalue Dorjee faced a slew of cameras and hundreds of hopeful faces. He sat alone on a decorated stage at the local Tibetan community center, a large portrait of the Dalai Lama smiling down on him. He drew in a deep breath and looked out at the hushed crowd. In a clear voice, he began reading aloud: “I am very honored by your presence here today and for your support for the Tibetan community and dharma in Minnesota. … ” To the faithful, he’s more than just a boy — he’s an enlightened being. He’s also a pioneer. Buddhist scholars say he is the first lama born in Minnesota and among a scant few ever discovered in the West. So far, Jalue appears unfazed by the pressure to fulfill the hope that he will one day become a great lama. “It could be easy if I get the hang of it,” he said. Lamas typically are discovered in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition through a process known as divination. Dreams also play a key role in identifying reincarnated lamas. In this case, while Jalue’s mother was pregnant, a highly respected lama from India who was visiting the Twin Cities had a dream about her child. He conducted a divination that convinced him that the child was the reincarnation of a Buddhist spiritual master. After Jalue was born, several prominent lamas in India weighed in on the question of who he is. The seventh incarnation of a high lama had died in Switzerland a few years before Jalue was born, and Tibetan Buddhist leaders were searching the world for his reappearance. Although it was highly unusual for a lama to be discovered in the West, the little boy from Minnesota was a prime candidate. On a cold January day in 2009, a letter arrived at Jalue’s home. It bore the seal of the greatest spiritual leader of the Tibetan diaspora – the Dalai Lama. In the letter, the Dalai Lama officially recognized Jalue as the reincarnation of the mind, body and spirit of the lama known as Taksham Neuden Dorjee. In a second letter, the Dalai Lama conferred upon Jalue (pronounced JAH-loo) his formal lama name: Tenzin Gyurme Trinley Dorjee. So began Jalue and his family’s spiritual odyssey......

My art studio is in MN. I really enjoy Minnesota and being at my studio there. It's south of Minneapolis--not far from Prince's Paisley Park, I like to think that it basks in the purple glow. I got the place about six months before the little Prince left us to return to his asteroid...  (I like playing Pokemon with my kids!..if they're really good, I reward them by taking them out Poke hunting. And my kids L VE going to "mom's art studio" because we have a Pokemon infestation there.) I'm pretty sure the first largest is in California. IP: Logged |
