American tulku in Minnesota profiled by the Star Tribune
In Columbia Heights, Minnesota, a young boy, Jalue Dorjee (Tenzin Gyurme Trinley Dorjee), is believed to be the reincarnation of Taksham Nueden Dorjee, a Tibetan lama born in 1655. Jalue joins a small group of Americans tulkus, or reincarnated lamas. Discovered as his reincarnation in 2009 at age three, the honor comes while some Tibetan scholars have been questioning the ways in which tulkus are being identified, with the number of discoveries increasing worldwide. Jalue will leave his parent's home at age ten to study at a Tibetan monastery in India. This piece in the Star Tribune talks about how his mother, Dechen Wangmo, and father, Dorje Tsegyal, are adapting to the idea of their son leaving home to study in a monastery overseas.
