THE TULKUS THE KARMAPA HAS RECOGNIZED

At the request of the office of Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, the Karmapa predicted the circumstances of his rebirth. His Holiness granted a formal letter, instructions and sketches for the search party to find Rinpoche. After some obstacles and doubt faced by the search party, the 4th Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche was finally found in August of 1996 in the Shemey Shang village in the Chushur district. When the search party returned and informed His Holiness of their findings, Karmapa simply unveiled a toy house constructed which matched identically with the actual house of Kongtrul Rinpoche’s parents.

The Karmapa performed the haircutting ceremony at Tsurphu on Lhabab Duchen in September of 1996, and gave Kongtrul Rinpoche the name Chokyi Nyima. Jamgon Kongtrul was then brought to India, where the Dalai Lama, Sakya Trizin and Mindroling Trichen confirmed his recognition. Jamgon Kongtrul returned to his main seat of Pullhari in Nepal.

Dolpo Shelri, a disciple of the 2nd Jamgon Kongtrul and devotee to the 3rd Jamgon
Kongtrul, was predicted by the Karmapa to be outside of Tibet and was found accordingly.

Dilyak Dabzang Rinpoche, a disciple of the 16th Karmapa and emanation of Gampopa, passed away in 1992. At the appeals of Rinpoche’s monastery in Nepal, Karmapa predicted his reincarnation without any hesitation. With a representative from Nepal and monks from Rinpoche’s temple in eastern Tibet, the search party was sent out.

In June of 1996, the 4th Dilyak Dabzang was born. Gyalwa Karmapa and Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche performed ceremonies for purification. His Holiness did the hair cutting in August of 1997.

The Karmapa has also recognized the Third incarnation of Venerable Geyjey Rinpoche, who is now at Tashi Choling Monastery.
