  In the last 30 years, there have been a growing number of Tibetan Buddhist teachers who have chosen to reincarnate as Westerners. Tibetan Lamas know how to control the time of their deaths and reincarnation. Often before they die they leave clues about the place and the family into which they will incarnate. After their death a search is carried out for the incarnation. Candidates for the reincarnation are rigorously tested and finally approved by the Dalai Lama. This book tells the story of Westerners who have been identified as the incarnation of important Lamas. The stories include Lama Osel, the little Spanish boy from Andalucia who is the reincarnation of Lama Yeshe and Jetsunma, a woman born in Brooklyn, New York, who is the first western woman to have been recognized as a reincarnation Lama.

  This text details the life histories of five westerners who have been identified as the reincarnations of high-ranking Tibetan lamas. Reincarnation masters are men and women who through meditation techniques can steer their consciousness at the time of death to the precise rebirth of their choice. Vicki Mackenzie discovers who these reincarnates are, how they are identified, and what their mission is. En route she also encounters those leading the way in Western research into the phenomenon of past lives. The book examines how we may live more than one life, and all the myriad implications that concept implies. In doing so, it focuses on the debate currently occupying the scientific world - the nature of consciousness and of the mind itself.
