Tulku

I'm currently working on a buddhist tulku story (reincarnation). I already have a lot of information (and an incredible collection of rare artifacts) but I'm still searching for more.
Do you know any place on the web where I can find a most complete description about the various steps and tests to determine a tulku ?
From the signs to the last test.

I'm sure you have already done so but my first thought would be to contact one of the Buddhist temples and ask there.

Yep, I did but it doesn't really help.

I have a couple of friends who are Buddhists. No promises that it will result in anything useful but I'll ask them whether they have any suggestions or leads.

Ok, thanks.

The Die of Palden Lhamo and the Eye of Mara have been retrieved...
Some of the objects involved in my next story.

I think you should adopt me.

I've enjoyed your writing and played with some of the ideas but not had the cash at the right time to test out the assembled effects but they do look stunning.

The eye of Mara can "cloud the Mind" and the Die of Palden Lhamo is used to discover Tulkus. The Die has other functions too: it's a lucky Charm for dice games and a wonderful Oracle item...
In 1920, the guardian of those precious treasures was a Tulku (Terton) named Ying Ko. He was the first Curator of the Surnateum...
But who is he in this present incarnation ?
Only the shadows know the answer...

The only existing photo of Ying Ko with an unindentified chinese girl and another girl known only as ML.
If someone has an idea about what ML means...

I am trying VERY hard not to be a giggling 'fan-boy' here!

We have identified the Chinese girl as Ming Dwan. But we are still trying to guess what ML means...

I don't care so long as he bequeaths the collection to me AND ME ALONE!

You mean props like those ?

If you want the real XIXth century Vampire Killing kit...
(With an authentic photo of Ernst Freiherr von Blomberg, the Blomberg serum, the gun with silver crosses engraved...)
Not to be confused with the poor imitations.
The first picture is the equipment for Rhesus I



Here is the VKK.





The 1926/1940 Ghost Hunter Kit



The anti-vampire walking stick.




The Shihab Taqib (Djinn Killers from the City of Djinns) and the Talisman for raising the Djinns.





A XVIIII th century German Magical Sword. Perfect against vampires and other spectres.

Very useful if you do necromancy.




The necromantic skull (XVIIIth century, at least)

I'm moving to Belgium.

I never had a mentor as a magician.
But I had one as a shaman and my first drum came from him. I just recently knew that he passed away two years ago.

Could ML be Margo Lane?

Is Ying Ko Kent Allard?

The Shadow knows. Heh, heh, heh, heeeh.
