1. tulku; reincarnate Tibetan lamaBuddhism
2. TulkuIn Tibetan Buddhism, a tulku is a particular high-ranking lama who can choose the manner of his (or her) rebirth. Normally the lama would be reincarnated as a human, and of the same sex as his (or her) predecessor. In contrast to a tulku, all other sentient beings including other lamas, have no choice as to the manner of their rebirth. In addition to choosing the manner of their rebirth, tulkus are able, on their deathbed, to make known the place of their next birth.
