Question asked by Eric
Hello Pastor Niral
We all know about "Tulku" Lineages but what do we know about the world of "Oracle" lineages.
I am not speaking about what are called "Family" Oracular lineages like the Gadong or Lamo Tsangpa family lineages of "Oracles".
This is when the married "Oracle" passes away and one of his son's is chosen by the "Deity" to take his place.
Are you aware of any history of men or women who continue to reincarnate as "Oracles".
I know Pastor Niral you have done research and articles in the past about "Oracles".
Do you have any insights into this matter?
Could say the current 7th Panglung Oracle reincarnate in his next life as an "Oracle"?
Dear Eric,
Thank you for the follow up questions. They are indeed very interesting! Yes, you are right about the ‘family’ lineages of certain oracles such as the Gadong and Panglung Oracles. As for if an oracle reincarnates in his/her next life as an oracle, I have not come across mention of this anywhere before.
Say if the 7th Panglung Oracles reincarnates and then is recognised as the genuine reincarnation, then he would become a tulku, rather than an oracle. Though it is not outside the realm of possibility that he could retain his ability as an oracle, if he would was ‘recognised’ as a reincarnation, then he would be classed as a tulku with oracular abilities, and not as an oracle. But this is just a hypothesis, because I have not come across this anywhere before. I hope this helps. Thank you.
