Unmistaken Child
Before he died,
I was holding his hand
and requested him to
come back as a reincarnation.
Geshe-La replied that it all
depends on your all's prayers.
I know that Geshe-La
don't like me to cry,
but I just could not stop.
And Geshe-La said,
"Don't worry, don't cry.
"I have done everything in my life...
...I am totally satisfied with my life."
"Don't cry."
But still, I can't stop.
Look, pearl relics!
Oh, here, here.
- Tenzin Zopa, use both hands.
- Be careful, the ashes will fall in...
Oh, look here.
A pattern in the sand.
Now you can see it clearly.
What does it look like?
A footprint.
Here, here.
It points to the east,
in this direction.
Dear Tenzin, we know you were
especially trusted by Geshe-La.
There was an unshakeable bond
between you,
and since you were little,
he took care of and nurtured you
right up until his death.
We must find his
unmistaken reincarnation,
someone who will continue
his kind deeds
and help all living beings. Right?
Therefore, you should take responsibility
for finding his reincarnation.
As you may know...
we checked the smoke
direction during the cremation
and the sand pattern
under the cremation pyre.
We were also told that
many pearl relics were found.
These are significant signs.
I personally informed
the Dalai Lama
and he said:
"If there are such clear signs...
...we can start looking
for the reincarnation."
I was, I mean, totally confused.
There is joy hearing that
Geshe-La would definitely return.
His Holiness already confirmed.
But when I hear that I have to be
the main person, I don't want.
I just cannot trust my feelings.
I'm not Buddha.
If something is a visible object,
of course you can see it,
but this is something that
you need to see its inner quality,
whether this is the same mind
of Lama Konchog or not.
But to know that,
only Buddhas know within Buddhas,
ordinary cannot judge
higher than your state.
Last night, I had
a very interesting dream.
It's Geshe Lama Konchog's holy body,
the dead body is lying outside.
And from Geshe Lama Konchog's
dead body, one little boy came out.
And he's like quite fatty-fatty
and quite small, you know?
So then he called my name:
"Tenzin Zopa, Tenzin Zopa...
...give me your hand."
So then I passed my hand.
You know the feeling in the dream
was so joyous
and suddenly with that joy,
I was waken up.
Swambhu Shrine.
This is east from Kopan.
Towards India?
It's here.
This mountain is the
"Snow Minister", Ganesh Himal.
Now the astrological check
will be done.
Should I send it to Taiwan?
Yes, today.
For us, your disciples,
born from your holy teachings,
there is no other refuge than you.
How could you possibly
forsake us?
Come in your unmistaken
reincarnation to guide us.
In one moment,
after Geshe-La passed away,
I got this very, very lost feeling.
Almost like I want
to give up many things,
just don't know what to do,
and like...
Because I never planned
for my life, you see.
Everything was planned
by Geshe-La:
"You are going to do this,
you'll do that."
So I always say "yes",
just follow,
and I didn't think at all
about what is going to happen next.
- Heruka Center.
- Yes, in Taiwan.
- Oh, Lobsang Jamyang.
- Yes.
- You see...
- What it means?
My astrology check
pointed to three options,
but one of them is much more
significant than the others.
I checked for the reincarnation's
birthplace and the father's name.
What came out,
with a probability of 95%,
is that the father's name
begins with the letter "A".
You have to search for a father
whose name starts with "A".
As for the reincarnation's birthplace,
the syllable "TS" came out.
As you know, Geshe-La meditated
for years in Tsum Valley.
Most probably,
the child was born in that area.
Tsum Valley is my birthplace,
where I was born.
During that time Geshe-La
already moved to his third cave,
which is about an hour from
my village, up in the mountains.
Always, he's always like this,
you see, always...
Huge and, you know,
long ears, laughing.
Yeah, I used to be with him like this.
I truly believe
that his reincarnation has come.
However, there is a possibility
if the disciples lack merits.
Therefore, you should be
careful and meticulous.
You don't have the power to say:
"This is the true reincarnation...
...or not."
So don't trust
everything people say,
don't take everything as true,
as people will tell you
many unusual stories.
If someone is labeled
as the reincarnation
and turns out
to be a strange character,
then all becomes strange,
and such things have happened.
- Please, Tenzin Zopa.
- You don't need to offer me.
- Please accept this.
- No need, give to the others.
- Oh, thank you.
- Good to see you again.
How kind of you,
thank you very much.
Hello, how are you?
Hello. Oh, thank you.
Have people here said anything
about his reincarnation?
We do pray for his reincarnation,
but the most important thing
is that the High Lamas
search and test.
We don't have clairvoyance
or realizations.
Please ask the High Lamas
to search for him.
So we can see him again.
You are his closest disciple.
When I see you,
he appears in my mind.
I miss him.
- Brother, where are you from?
- From Lokpa.
I see.
Is this the right way to Chulae?
- Yes, it's over there.
- OK.
Sister, where are you from?
- From Chulae.
- Chulae. I see.
In Chulae, are there any children
aged one to one and a half?
There are many children,
but I don't know.
However, nowadays people are...
you know...
You'll have to
see for yourself, brother.
OK, thank you.
Child. Come, come.
Here's a toffee.
What's your name?
Tsering Dhondup.
What's your father's name?
- Choepel.
- Choepel, OK.
Give one to your brother.
- Do you recognize this rosary?
- Yes.
Is it yours?
- Yes?
- A rosary.
Um... Is this Uncle's or yours?
- Uncle's.
- Uncle's? OK.
Touch your forehead.
Hello. How do you do?
Brother, come inside.
- What is his name?
- Him? Nyima Tseten.
- Nyima Tseten.
- Yes.
Nyima Tseten.
Are you Nyima Tseten?
For long life.
Want a balloon?
What's your name?
Nyima Tseten.
Oh, he isn't moving.
Like a yogi!
Do you recognize this?
He's smiling.
See you again, OK?
- Stay well.
- Thank you.
Any children aged one
to one and a half here?
Chulae, I see.
Pangdun is down there?
Chulae... Nyiloe...
OK. Thank you.
Touch your forehead.
Do you want to become a monk?
Do you want?
Can you recite the Mani Mantra?
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
Don't know. Don't know.
He has long ears
and a wide forehead too.
He looks very fortunate and lucky.
What a cute boy!
May my venerable
Lama's life be firm,
Dispelling the darkness
of all beings in the three realms.
In all my future lives,
never separated from perfect gurus.
May I enjoy
the magnificent teachings.
Do you recognize it?
Between one and one and a half?
Tsering Paljor has a son of that age.
