Unmistaken Child Page #2
- I see.
- He's one.
- One and a half?
- No, he's not yet one.
- Not yet one?
- Right.
Hello, come in.
Son, sit up there. - It's OK here.
He is truly very good and obedient.
When her daughter was born,
several people helped.
But when this boy was born,
only her husband was there.
I see.
- An easy delivery, no?
- I see.
Before his birth,
I dreamt that I was herding cows
near Geshe-La's retreat.
The dream was very clear.
She was pregnant
when she had this dream.
OK, come.
You want to go?
Hey, he said no.
Such attitude.
What is this?
Do you recognize it?
In summer time, there will be a very,
very beautiful blue flower.
Blue, and the entire area will be
covered with flowers, even this.
All these are actually flower trees.
White, green, blue, yellow...
all different types.
And even these bamboo trees
will be more green,
and like, then windy...
And after that everything,
everyone is dancing.
Everybody will dance.
Every nature tree will dance.
The waterfall will dance,
trees will dance, you see here?
Dancing, dancing.
This is dancing.
Free dance.
Like this flower.
So beautiful, happy and free.
But sorry anyway, I...
I took permission from the tree.
So that's why I'm taking it.
Actually now it's not free,
before it was free.
I remember that
since the age of 3,
I used to run up to
Geshe Lama Konchog's cave up there.
So I usually run from
that juniper tree, up to...
Like this.
Day after day
and month after month,
even when it was snowing
I came up.
And my family put a full effort.
They tried separating me
from Geshe La.
They want me to be a householder,
they want me to get married.
This is at the age of 6 and 7,
they had already found
a girl for me.
I am totally not interested in this.
So then, one day I really
screamed at my father:
"Just let me see him, and I will
ask one last question:
'Geshe-La, can you accept me?
'Can you let me follow you? '
"If Geshe-La says 'no',
"I would never ever ask again...
...and I will follow Papa...
...but if Geshe-La says 'yes',
no one can stop me."
Nothing, nothing.
Nothing left but still,
I don't know,
due to Geshe-La's prayer,
he loved flowers so much,
rose flowers are left.
So many, you know,
so many about to come.
It will be beautiful.
Definitely that is the same flower.
It's 100% of...
I always plucked a flower
and quietly put on his ear.
Just like before, pluck flower,
and Geshe-La was meditating,
so I slowly put on his ear
and he doesn't bother.
Later on, when I sleep,
sometimes he slowly
put on my ear, like that.
It used to be beautiful.
I mean, the outward appearance
used to be beautiful,
but now everything is gone.
It's like...
Last time...
He insists to become a monk
and doesn't want to go to school.
Do you want to become a monk?
No.
Do you want to become a monk?
Do you want to become a monk?
What should I say?
Maybe, from Phurpae up to Nyiloe...
Did you hear of any unusual children?
I have not heard about anyone
with unusual signs.
You don't know any?
I haven't met any child
with an interest in the teachings.
Haven't seen... I see.
Hello. How are you?
Are you from Laeru or Ngagyu?
- You mean us?
- Yes.
We are from Choekhang.
- From Choekhang, I see.
- Grandpa Wangchuk...
I see. That's right...
- Is your farm over here?
- We are relatives, right?
I was away for a long time,
I slightly recognize Auntie's face.
In Ngagyu, do you know any kids
aged one to one and a half?
Maybe Ahpe.
- Ahpe...
- Ahpe has.
- Small kids, right?
- Yes, small.
- Over there is...
- There?
- Behind that one.
- I see.
Yes, behind that.
Is his son one or two?
He has two sons.
- One is not yet one.
- About one.
I see.
- Is there a way out from there?
- Yes.
Go that way.
Hello.
- What is the boy's name?
- Tsering Bhuti.
- His father's name?
- Yes?
Father's name?
- Ngodrup Gyaltsen.
- I see. Thank you.
Hello.
Where is Ahpe's house?
- Ahpe's house?
- There.
Over there?
Here, here. OK, take it.
Give me, give me.
Give me the rosary.
Is this yours?
Don't.
Give it to me.
In all my lives,
never separated from perfect gurus,
May I enjoy the magnificent teachings.
By completing the qualities
of the stages and paths,
May I quickly attain the state
of Vajradhara Buddha.
Finally, I left without
getting the rosary back.
He kept it.
- What did Geshe-La use his rosary for?
- For his morning ritual.
- I see. A crystal one?
- Yes.
which was planted by Geshe-La,
it's now huge and bears fruit.
He has been watering it
every morning for the last year.
Oh yeah.
Seems like quite a unique child.
Since you were very close
to Geshe-La
and well acquainted
with his nature,
your inquiries
are very meaningful.
Tell both Rinpoches
about this, OK?
And we will come
and do more checks.
For now,
the boy should be kept clean.
Please keep him clean.
If we get more assurance,
then we will inform
His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.
Right?
To find the unmistaken
reincarnation of Lama Konchog,
this is my life's responsibility.
It's not just a responsibility
of just being an attendant,
it's a responsibility for
a very, very important person,
who is going to benefit
numberless beings.
Just, just, just...
Just having him itself,
just able to bring,
even if he is a baby,
I can bring him
and I can show to you.
I can show to people.
Just that itself, already is enough.
It's very important.
It's thousands and thousands
of times more important
than my own life.
Who is this?
A child.
A child. Who is he?
Yes?
Do you recognize him?
Tell me. Who is he?
- Is it you?
- Who is he?
Is it Big Uncle?
- Yes, it is Big Uncle.
- Is this Tenzin Ngodup?
Yes, this is Tenzin Ngodup.
Who is that?
It's Grandma...
Is that her?
Yes, it is Grandma.
I'll spray you.
Wait, wait...
Tenzin Zopa, you are called.
Come. Come.
Here. Prostrate like me.
Little boy, come here.
Let us begin.
Tell him to choose the bell
he used in his previous life.
Do you want to pick up your bell?
Yes?
Tell him to take the one
that he used before.
Ahpe, you tell him.
Tell him in his mother tongue.
Take the one you used before.
My little boy,
you are very obedient, right?
This one.
Right, that is the one.
Then? Next.
Which one?
This one.
Yes, that's right.
Now the rosary.
Which one?
This, this or this?
- Pick the one you used before.
- In your past life.
This.
Hand drum.
Now your hand drum.
Which one?
Not this one... this.
- Which one?
- This.
Ask him. Is this the one?
It is.
- He said it is.
- I see, that's good.
- Which one, this?
- Yes.
- This one?
- No.
Yes.
He picked the right one.
Thank you. What is your name?
Your name?
Don't go.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche got
a good impression
and decided to write a letter
to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
In order to make very precious,
he wants the Dalai Lama to announce,
Dalai Lama to recognize.
