Truth be told, with all due respect to all great Tulkus,
many Tulkus (recognised reborn Buddhist masters or students)
still need Dharma re-education
to re-align themselves to the path… in case…
It is not true that
all Tulkus are firmly on the path to enlightenment,
or already enlightened,
for there are cases of Tukus who go astray.
Such is the danger
of the rounds of rebirth,
when you return not exactly ready,
when you might stray off even with good company.
If you are reborn in a culture,
where Tulkus are readily recognised,
could you be seen as one?
Would you become spoilt by special attention or further groomed?
There is a safe place to be born without these dangers.
Amituofo’s Pure Land,
where we will be groomed by the enlightened, bound for enlightenment,
before we return fully ready to better help all beings.
