Reincarnation
In 1986 his reincarnation was identified in the person of a Spanish boy named Osel Hita Torres (b. 1985), who for some time was known as Tenzin Ösel Rinpoche. In theory this would have made Lama Yeshe the first in a line of tulkus. After spending his childhood and youth in Nepal receiving a traditional education for a Gelugpa tulku, Lama Osel subsequently chose to attend a western secondary boarding school in Canada and is currently attending university in Spain. He has expressed discomfort with others' expectations as to his role in life and is committed to spiritual discovery in a post-modern context, as are other young tulkus, in particular Osel Hita's close friend the 23rd Gomo Tulku.
