Now he has earned a title for his efforts--tulku, recognition that he's a reincarnated lama (that's the priest, not the beast). The honor was awarded by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, Supreme Head of the Nyingma lineage and the 11th Throneholder of the Palyul monastery. Not all Buddhists are happy about the award.
