Samadhi Island, a Taiwanese center under the spiritual direction of the Ninth Ogyen Tulku -- seen above in a stunning photo composition with his predecessor, Dorje Chang Palden Yeshe Zangpo, the Eighth Ogyen Tulku -- has a satisfying program scheduled for this season, inclusive of basic instruction, empowerments, phowa instruction, and New Year rituals.

I look forward to Ogyen Tulku Rinpoche's next visit to the US...
I have noticed of late that with photoshop or any means by which to manipulate photos these days, i find it curious that there is either an impulse or need to "advertise" a Tulku's current form in poses or "likenesses" of that Tulku's previous form. This was very evident with the Khyentse Yangsi from a young age up until now and now with this photo you have published. To some degree this has also been done with Chagdud Yangsi but not very extensively. I find the practice to be "interesting". "See! he even looks like him!!!" Maybe we are stressing the obvious a little too much? What do you think?
People express their devotion however they wish.
