Glossary:
Tulku
In Tibetan Buddhism, a Tulku is a lama who, through phowa and siddhi, has consciously chosen to reincarnate, sometimes more than one time, in order to continue his ou her bodhisattva vow. (Source: Wikipedia).
Rinpoché
Rinpoché is a title of the Tibetan Buddhism that is given to a lama who is considered precious in terms of his or her knowledge and practice. Initially applied to leaders of buddhist monasteries and temples, the term became common, not always keeping its original meaning and refering only a title of respect. The term Guru Rinpoché is applied to Padmasambhava, regarded as the initiator of buddhism in Tibet. (Source: Wikipedia).
