Tulku – Film by Gesar Mukpo is now available for order
Thanks to a very kind reader of this blog named Harold for pointing out that “Tulku” the film by Gesar Mukpo is now available for order via the National Film Board of Canada store.
As mentioned on the NFB’s website:
Tulku is a documentary film about young people caught between the modern culture they were born into and the ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture from which they were reborn. They are Western tulkus ‐ all of them recognized when they were children as reincarnations of great Tibetan Buddhist masters. Filmmaker Gesar Mukpo is one of them. In this film, he sets out to meet others like him ‐ young people struggling between modern and ancient, East and West.
Once I get my hands on a copy, I’ll be sure to provide a review on this blog. I’m really looking forward to seeing this film.

Are there no female tulkus?
That’s a tough one to answer… There are very few female tulkus and a bit more information on this topic can be found here:
