Items related to Reborn in the West
In the last 30 years, there have been a growing number of Tibetan Buddhist teachers who have chosen to reincarnate as Westerners.
Tibetan Lamas know how to control the time of their deaths and reincarnation. Often before they die they leave clues about the place and the family into which they will incarnate. After their death a search is carried out for the incarnation. Candidates for the reincarnation are rigously tested and finally approved by the Dalai Lama.
This extraordinary book tells the story of Westerners who have been identified as the incarnation of important lamas. The stories include; Lama Osel the little Spanish boy from Andalucia who is the reincarnation of Lama Yeshe and Jetsunma a woman born in Brookyln, New York who is the first western woman to have been recognised as a reincarnation Lama.

About the Author:
'Reborn In The West' is an enthralling investigation into the mysteries of reincarnation. Tibetan teachings say that spiritually advance teachers have the ability to direct their consciousness at the time of their death to the precise rebirth of their choice. Now for the first time these 'reincarnation masters' are appearing in the West. Vicki Mackenzie discovers who the reincarnates are and how they are identified, and uncovers the fascinating stories of four Westerners who have been officially recognised as incarnations of famous Tibetan lamas.
Among those she meets are the Brooklyn-born Jetsunma who was recognised as a lama in her thirties, and Lama Osel, the boy whose story inspired Bertoluuci's film 'Little Buddha' and who is the subject of the author's earlier book 'Reincarnation: The Boy Lama.' Along the way she learns why they have chosen to come back to earth, describes fascinating research into the phenomenon of past lives, and examines the implications surrounding the concept of living more than one life.
